Living in New England means living and exploring in a location that several authors of the past and present also roamed and often reflected upon in their works. Check out our display near the main floor circulation desk to see what titles by locals might be the ones you read on the beach this summer!
Below is a list of just some of the forty-three New England authors (alphabetical by last name) whose works we see circulate a lot in this area. Feel free to use the links under each name to learn more about each author and which of their titles we have in our consortium.
