New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library Between March 1 and August 31!

Well, after completing our first month back in the library, it was time for a new book list!  Since no one could get into the library between March 16 and August 17, 2020, it didn't make much sense to let you know which books we added.  However, we were hard at work tracking down and cataloging books and other items while we were working from home.  

If you've been thinking about reading a book, we have hundreds of new ones (plus a lot of older ones) ready to go!

Take a look at our New Books shelves or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection between March 1 and August 31! We added 713 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title.  There is definitely something here for everyone!

Here are eight titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 

  • Makerspaces for adults : best practices and great projects / edited by Jennifer Hicks, Jessica Long
  • Make America healthy again : how bad behavior and big government caused a trillion-dollar crisis / Nicole Saphier
  • The ballad of songbirds and snakes / Suzanne Collins
  • The voter file / David Pepper
  • Memorial Drive : a daughter's memoir / Natasha Trethewey
  • Am I overthinking this? : over-answering life's questions in 101 charts / by Michelle Rial
  • No BS (bad stats) : black people need people who believe in black people enough not to believe every bad thing they hear about black people / by Ivory A. Toldson
  • The hardest job in the world : the American presidency / John Dickerson

This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

Thank you for all of your suggestions and requests!  If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Amy Carmichael (carmicae@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways.

Thanks again for keeping our collection vibrant and your information needs met!
