Here is a list of some of the books we have acquired in the last couple months at the Belden Noble Memorial Library, including a few on order that will be here soon.

You can check the availability of books in our collection and request books at www.cefls.org. Use the Search our Catalog link at the top right of the page and then the Search My Library tab. All you need is your amazing library card!

We also have quite a few new children’s books. Many are already on the shelves in the children’s room.  Others are waiting to be cataloged; these books are on the cart near the desk and we can quickly check them out using a process called “fast add.”
