2020 is a year in which a lot of important topics are discussed and decisions made. The Library encourages you to look beyond television and social media feeds for information on current issues. Below are book lists with a handful of titles each to spark interest. Titles are from reputable sources and are by no means exhaustive of the range of materials available. If you have suggestions for books or topics, please share with your local library!
