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

We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out. Take a look at our New Books shelves (shown above) or the New Media Display for some of the titles, or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in August!  You may also want to take a look at our monthly book display near the front entrance.

We added 92 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 ten titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 

• Last call at Coogan's : the life and death of a neighborhood bar / Jon Michaud
• Whalefall : a novel / Daniel Kraus
• Pet : a novel / Catherine Chidgey
• Still born / by Guadalupe Nettel
• Reconstructing response to student writing : a national study from across the curriculum / Dan Melzer
• Anansi's gold : the man who looted the west, outfoxed Washington, and swindled the world / Yepoka Yeebo
• Knowing what we know : the transmission of knowledge, from ancient wisdom to modern magic / Simon Winchester
• Fear not : a Christian appreciation of horror movies / Josh Larsen   foreword by Soong-Chan Rah
• The spires still point to heaven : Cincinnati's religious landscape, 1788-1873 / Matthew Smith
• Let's talk about loneliness : the search for connection in a lonely world / Simone Heng

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.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Alan Kelley (kelleya@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. 

If you know some titles we should add, we have acquisitions funds available.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection!
