This Month's Book Display:
Narrative Nonfiction

Narrative nonfiction often reads like fiction, combining literary techniques with the intrigue of true stories to create memorable reading experiences. Narrative nonfiction books are also compulsively readable, and accessible to readers of all backgrounds and interests.

Whether you're in the mood to read a true crime book like I'll Be Gone in the Dark, something to make you laugh like Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman, or want to dive into history with The Wordy Shipmates, this month's display titles can help you find your next great read.
Book Purchasing Suggestions
Is there a new book you're dying to read? Need a study guide we don't own? Think we should carry more material on a particular subject?

Please let us know! We're here to serve the RHEC Community, and want to stay updated on what you want and need. With that in mind, we've opened up a new Purchasing Suggestions form on our website.
