New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in September!

 


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 during September 2020! We added 139 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: 

  • White too long : the legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity / Robert P. Jones
  • Just us : an American conversation / Claudia Rankine
  • The gaming mind : a new psychology of videogames and the power of play / Alexander Kriss, PhD
  • The secret life of groceries : the dark miracle of the American supermarket / Benjamin Lorr
  • The sprawl : reconsidering the weird American suburbs / Jason Diamond
  • The lying life of adults / Elena Ferrante
  • Transcendent kingdom / Yaa Gyasi
  • Our malady : lessons in liberty from a hospital diary / Timothy Snyder

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!
