New Holiday Dropbox Closures
Because of incidents of damaged materials from overfull boxes, we will now be closing the drop boxes on holidays when the library is closed. This does NOT include our regular Sunday closures. Patrons are never charged late fees, but if items are left outside the drop box they will be charged for any damages. We will post reminders in the weeks leading up to a closure. Please do not leave any items outside the drop boxes. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call! And thank you for understanding as we try to preserve materials for future borrowers.

Finding Margaret Fuller
by Allison Pataki
Recommended by Deb
From hosting a women-only literary salon in Boston to becoming the first woman permitted entry to Harvard's library, Margaret defies societal conventions as an activist for women's rights and a champion for humanity. On the gritty New York streets, she spars with Edgar Allan Poe and reports on the work of Frederick Douglass. And when offered an assignment in Europe by editor Horace Greeley, Margaret becomes the first female foreign news correspondent, mingling with the likes of Frédéric Chopin, William Wordsworth, and George Sand. In Rome, she embarks on a passionate love affair with a Roman count, causing an international scandal. As a mother and a countess, Margaret enters a new fight for Italy's unification.
