Teens also have a huge selection of graphic novels in their room along with new titles.  There's a New Avengers to a new Wonder Woman graphic novel with others scattered amongst them.  Or check out a new title like Descendant of the Crane with politics and magic with a Chinese themed fantasy novel by Joan He  or Crying Laughing by Lance Rubin featuring stand-up humor and how laughter can help with the darker moments in our lives.

And there's so much in General Fiction for adults.  These are just some of the new titles from authors in the A-E section on display.  There are some more familiar authors like Cussler, Ahern, Allende, and DeMille but lots of others as well as some reprints like Tales of the Unexpected by Roald Dahl.

These are not new books but they are great for any time of year. There's books on Civil Rights and Martin Luther King and books on the Fourth of July and biographies-I pulled a few books about some famous people you may not have heard off: Raven Wilkinson, James Van Der Zee, Sharon Robinson, Carter G. Woodson, and Ruby Bridges.  Plus we have lots of other biographies written for kids and adults!

I also found a couple of great websites for books by Black authors: https://aalbc.com/books/children.php      and  https://booksforlittles.com/black-women-makers/      #BlackLivesMatter

The non-fiction section informs and educates and enlightens.  Whether you want to know more about: Aircraft of World War II, Food Is Your Best Medicine, The Science of Fortnite, or Friluftsliv by Oliver Delorie (reconnecting with nature the Norwegian way).  Such are selections in the 600 and 700's.
