Recommended Reading!

 Melcher-Dallas Library patrons have been enjoying books written by Rebecca Yarros.

We have a new book by, Marie Force, entitled In the Air Tonight. 

In the Air Tonight, is a departure from her normal writing style.  Come check out what we have to offer, as you won't want to be caught without something to read over the various November holidays!
