"Book Facts in the Stacks" at PPL.  All you have to do to get a suggestion for a good fiction book is browse the shelves at the J. F. Kennedy and J. W. Westergard Library  and look for "Book Facts in the Stacks."  Every three months, librarians from Adult Services will highlight about four new titles in each fiction section by writing short "blurbs" about different books.  The blurbs will be attached to the shelf right by the book.
