Check out these new titles in our collection.
Historical Fiction
Clara Kelley is not who they think she is. She's not the experienced Irish maid who was hired to work in one of Pittsburgh's grandest households. She's a poor farmer's daughter with nowhere to go and nothing in her pockets. However, she stumbles into a job for the illustrious Carnegie family, and if she makes it there, she may be able to help her desperate family back in Ireland.
Fantasy
A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery: humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now Scythes are the only ones who can end lifeāand they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control.
Non-Fiction
Before these men became legends, they met in 1907 at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, where they forged one of the winningest teams in American football history. Called "the team that invented football," they took on the best opponents of their day, defeating much more privileged schools such as Harvard and the Army in a series of breathtakingly close calls, genius plays, and bone-crushing hard work.
Come and see me in the library if you have any questions!
