New Books at Sembach Library!

February 17, 2003

Here's a list of some wonderful new books that Sembach Library recently received
as a donation from the Sembach Officers' Spouses' Club.
I was the lucky one who made the wish list that they selected from,
so these books are a set of personal favorites, many of which I've already reviewed.
I've also included three excellent books that the library acquired shortly after I reviewed them.

For the books that I have reviewed, I've put the star rating they received and a link to the review.
For the books that have no stars, the link leads to Amazon.com's listing of that book.
