Are there books that you've always wanted to read, but never found the time? Maybe this summer you'll find time. Check out the list of 100 Best Novels by Modern Library for some suggestions. There are many familiar titles on the list, but some you may never have heard of. Here are a couple of titles from that list.

WHERE IS...?
Have you noticed that there are some empty shelves at the Mt. Pleasant Library? We are in the process of shifting our collection to make it more accessible and less crowded for our patrons. We have already moved the books on CD, so if you don't see them in their regular space, please ask at the Reference desk for directions. The Biograpy collection will have a new home in the next few weeks, and there is shifting in the non-fiction area.
We've all gotten used to going to a certain spot to find our favorite author or subject, so it will take some getting used to. When everything is finished we hope it will be easier to find items. In the meantime the numbers on the end of the non-fiction shelves will not be very accurate, so please ask for assistance.
Be sure to register your children and teens for the Summer Reading Programs, and don't forget the Adult Summer Reading Wave. There are great prizes such as gift cards and a grand prize of a culinary basket from Maverick Southern Kitchens and a $50. gas card. You may enter online at http://www.ccpl.org/ or fill out an entry form at the Summer Reading Wave display near the Reference desk.
Would you like some suggestions on what to read? Find out what Mt. Pleasant Staff like to read. Our favorites are on the display, so feel free to check them out. We're always happy to help you with suggestions, recommend read-alikes, or to help you find the next book in your favorite series. We look forward to seeing you at the library this summer!
