FALL INTO SOME NEW BOOKS

It was a hot summer and a very busy time for the Mt. Pleasant Library. We had a great response to our Adult Summer Reading Program with 172 entrants and 798 entries, and our patrons really enjoyed the prizes that they won.  If you didn't enter this year, we hope you will next year. 

Now that school has started maybe there will be some time to check out our newest books.  Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn has by far been the most popular book with several hundred people on the waiting list.  If you'd like something to read right away without waiting, try some of these very new titles:
