Keeping Up With the Joneses

Take a peek at the lives of your neighbors and satisfy your curiosity about what “everyone” is reading…

Each morning, staff members at the Frank Sarris Public Library empty the outside drop boxes of items that were returned during the night and seeing what’s been taken out allows us a small window on the world.  Today, for example, an interesting variety of fiction and non-fiction has found its way back to us.

Novels to have crossed the circulation desk this morning include such titles as Sam’s Letters to Jennifer (James Patterson), a large print copy of Harlan Coben’s The Stranger, Sacred Sins by Nora Roberts and the recent release Descent (Tim Johnston).

An eclectric mix of non-fiction was returned in the wee hours, as well.  Titles leaning toward the practical include The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up and The Ultimate Chicken Cookbook, but books of that nature are not the only ones to have recently circulated.  For instance, we have 60 Hikes within 60 Miles of Pittsburgh, The Art of Charles Schulz and Pillsbury’s Best of the Bake-off: Casseroles, to name just a few.

So, there you have it…now you know what your neighbors are doing behind closed doors – they’re reading!
