Eastern Monroe Public Library

November is traditionally a month of remembrance and giving thanks. Why not do so for books?! Books have changed individuals, cities, continents, and even civilization. They have impacted the course of history, altered the physical & spiritual landscapes, and stimulated wholly new industries and endeavors. Staff member Jason V. features here some lesser known or nearly forgotten thought-provoking, paradigm-shifting books that have shaped--or can shape--how you live your life today. Their influence covers money, war, journalism, psychology, justice, social life, business, science, engineering, food, art, even reading itself. We hope you borrow and enjoy them!  🧠💡 And don't forget about our Thanksgiving-related staff picks! 🦃
