As Franklin Roosevelt once said, this day shall live in infamy. Whether you are a history buff or just interested in the topic at the moment, we have a list for you! This selection is also available to browse as a display in the Great Hall. Due to our fantastic holiday decorating, displays have moved slightly to the top of the fiction stacks in the center of the room. We’ll still have plenty of great ones all month long! All links in the list below go directly to the catalog so you can easily request whatever strikes your fancy.
