One of the benefits of working in a library is being surrounded by a staggering number of books and films, and while this does not mean that library staff get to spend our workdays reading and watching movies, most of us are avid consumers of all types of media in our personal lives. Many of us participate in book clubs, our office conversations often revolve around what we’re reading and watching, and we will enthusiastically make book and movie recommendations to anyone who asks.
It’s in this spirit that we have been adding staff picks boards to Pinterest. Right now you’ll find picks made by Liz, Donna and Amy, but more boards are on their way. Here’s a sample of what you’ll find:
“If you’ve managed to escape hearing about David Sedaris or reading any of his books, start with this one. Do yourself a favor – the essays in this book are tear-inducingly funny.” / Liz, on Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
“Wonderful novel about fate and friendship and another book that helped re-ignite my love for reading for enjoyment.” / Donna, on A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
“The story of three friends whose lives are all in some way wrecked by the same woman – wonderful writing.” / Liz, on The Robber Bride by Margaret Atwood

It just wouldn’t feel like a new year here at the Bentley Library if we didn’t put together our annual Best Books display. We’ve spent the past few months poring over our favorite reviewers’ year-end lists (The New York Times, NPR, Amazon and The Wall Street Journal, to name a few) to bring you our largest best books display ever – over 200 titles in both print and audiobook format.
As you might assume, the display features insanely popular books that have received numerous accolades, but it also includes many titles that may have escaped your notice. No stone was left unturned and no genre or subject has been ignored. You’ll find literary fiction, thrillers, YA (young adult) literature and graphic novels alongside biographies, historical tomes and books examining business, culture, politics and the economy.
Please stop by to browse or take a look at the display on Pinterest. You may also want to take a look at our Overdrive downloadable book collection, as some of these books are sure to be found in eBook format to enjoy on your mobile devices.
We’re certain that this display contains something for everyone, but if you don’t find anything intriguing at first glance we encourage you to keep checking back. We’ll be adding to the display frequently as new acquisitions arrive and currently checked-out books are returned.
Happy New Year and happy reading!
