Staff Picks: Patty Tarter

by Alex Hicks on 2021-08-09T08:00:00-04:00 | 0 Comments

For the month of August, we pulled together a collection our staff's favorite books to give those who utilize the library services an idea of how broad our collection is, as well as some good suggestions on what to read next. This is our interlibrary loan specialist, Patty tarter, favorite books: 

  1. Trinity by Leon Uris.  I read this book when I was in college.  It is a powerful story of the Irish struggle between Protestants and Catholics.
  2. The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.  A disturbing book which depicts the constant struggle of African American slaves seeking freedom after the Civil War.
  3. Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy. A story of 19th Century England that depicts the plight of a poor woman trying to fight for her rights against all odds.
