Cheshire Library Staff's Favorite Books of 2013
One of the great perks of working in a library is access to copious amounts of books to choose from for our reading pleasure. One of the biggest drawbacks of working in a library is access to copious amounts of books! The Cheshire Library staff love to read and I thought it would be fun for them to list their favorite books they read or listened to in 2013. They were very busy readers! Below is just a sampling of some of the titles our library staff submitted.
