"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

PATRON PICKS -- Unbroken (2nd recommendation)

Susan's Pick:  Unbroken (A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption), by Lauren Hillenbrand

Susan says:  Stunning, true story of an ordinary guy from Cal. who discovers he's a runner, after a young life of petty thievery, and makes it to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, joins the army, quits, gets drafted, becomes bombardier, is a castaway in the Pacific when plane crashes, and a Japanese Prisoner of War.  True.  Amazing.  Courageous.
