Poetry Blitz!

The Librarian
The readers have spoken, and we have listened.  Your faithful Librarian has been receiving feedback lamenting the paucity of our poetry collection.  Alas, it has been true: 'twas but a smattering of a few poems on the shelves.  In response, we are pleased to announce a Poetry Blitz - we will focus on stocking our barren shelves with more verse over the next few days.  To begin, we have augmented our collection of poems by Edgar Allan Poe. This is just the beginning. Keep watching as we stock our shelves with more lovely lines of verse! As always, if you have any suggestions or feedback, be sure to let us know!

Your faithful and diligent Librarian

Time Travel Comes to The Dusty Library

The Librarian

In 1895, the visionary author H.G. Wells wrote the first book about time traveling through use of technology.  The name of the book is "The Time Machine" and is considered one of the most groundbreaking science fiction classics by many scholars.  The story has been adapted for the silver screen not just once, but two times! It's an insightful and fast moving story of one man's journey through time.  We are proud to have added it to our collection and we hope you will enjoy reading it as much as we have!

Ah, the sweet joy of a first kiss, the wonder of love, the bitter pain of a lover's betrayal. Love, passion, lust and unrequited love are topics of some of the greatest works of literature. The Dusty Library is proud to present it's latest section devoted to this genre: Romance! To begin, we have added the great work Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott. It is a fine example of historical fiction set in the Middle Ages and should be on the reading list of anyone who enjoys romantic stories. I hope you enjoy it! As always, we want to bring you the best in literature for your reading enjoyment!
