This was based on a list provided by McNally Jackson books. There is always some interest in reading circles when it comes to what our political leaders may be reading. So when we saw a small feature <a href="http://www.finebooksmagazine.com/fine_books_blog/2011/11/collecting-obamas-winter-reading-list.phtml">on President Obama’s family winter reading</a>, via the <em>Fine Books Magazine</em> blog, we decided to put a small display to bring this small piece of book news to life. The piece is about how the President took his daughters shopping for books on the Saturday after Black Friday. We wanted to show our patrons some of these books, which include some good children’s classics. In addition, we are hoping our readers might find an idea or two for their own winter reading.The display is located now on the second floor of the library near the Reference Area. The books featured include selections for adults and children. The books in the case are available to be checked out, so if anyone wishes to take one of the books, feel free to ask at the Circulation Desk. We will be happy to open the display case and let you take the book.The following books are featured in our display case. You can view the complete list at the link from <em>Fine Books Magazine</em> blog. We are including the call numbers and links to the library catalog for the books featured in the display so you can find them later as well: </p><ul><li><a href="http://catalog.uttyler.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=182948"><strong><em>The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao</em></strong></a> by Junot Díaz.
