Do you want to meet new people? Do you crave new information about famous people? Powell Branch Library had two new biographies, two memoirs, a retrospective, and a historical family investigation added to our collection this month.
The first biography comes from Marley and Me author John Grogan. He recounts his idyllic childhood and pays tribute to his father in The Longest Trip Home.
Anne Rice brings us her spiritual autobiography, Called Out of Darkness: A Spiritual Confession, about her loss of faith, and finding it again in later life.
A patron request finds A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity by Bill O’Reilly, joining our library collection. It is a memoir of O’Reilly’s childhood and youth.
Hitman, David Foster’s memoir, shows us great insight into the music industry, and what it takes to pick the perfect song.
If you have seen a Rolling Stone or Vanity Fair Magazine cover in the past three decades then you have probably seen Annie Leibovitz’s photographic work. Her new book, Annie Leibovitz at Work, discusses 90 of her pictures in detail relaying the arc of her career.
Abraham Lincoln’s 200th birthday is coming on February 12, 2009. In honor of the bi-centennial we recommend, The Last Lincolns: The Rise and Fall of a Great American Family, about the inquire into what happened to the Lincoln family and future generations after his assassination.
Enjoy these new additions! We hope 2009 brings you happiness, and an abundance of great reading time!
