I just read an article from the Daily Review in Hayward, California about a book that was donated to the local library, which turned out not to be a book at all, but a small safe, hollowed out of a Clive Cussler novel. The treasures inside turned out to be family heirlooms, put away for safekeeping decades ago, and forgotten in the day-to-day rhythm of busy family life, then donated to the local library. http://www.insidebayarea.com/search/ci_11701630?IADID=Search-www.insidebayarea.com-www.insidebayarea.com
There are treasures to find in North Central's library, too. In March we're featuring a "books you've always meant to read" display, culled from our literary jewel box of authors like Robert Frost, Aldous Huxley, Emily Dickinson, Leo Tolstoy, Harper Lee...there are many more just waiting in the library stacks for you, and easy to find in our online catalog. What books would you like to find in our library? Please let us know.

I highly reccommend reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (at the front table). It's a novel about a future dystopian society, simliar to George Orwell's 1984.

Wow. I don't know. I would like to see more books on athletics and on how to keep in shape. I was in the library the other day and did not find anything on running.
