Free & Public
For Outsiders the question is simple: Why on earth in Cincinnati? The answer is in this book, a colorful walk through 150 years at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, an institution ahead of its time in a city always ahead with its ambitions. The library was authorized in the mists of time, 1853, opened a reading room in 1856, and by 1870 its shapeless state mandate had been pounded into a tax-supported system with a professional librarian and America's most astounding library building. This incredibly early start put the Cincinnati Library well ahead and it has stayed ahead, playing in the public library big leagues right into the 21st century. John Fleischman's graceful style and nimble intelligence brings to life a startling and atypical cast of characters who built one of America's greatest library systems--from the acid-tongued librarian Thomas Vickers to trustee James Green, who took out a secret $180,000 personal loan to keep the doors open. Anyone who has ever held a library card anywhere will find Free &Public an unexpectedly entertaining story about a city that surprised even itself by building a world-class library.

Temples of Books
In 2016, the world's oldest existing library reopened in Fes, Morocco. It opened for the first time in the 9th Century. These shrines to the written word date back even further, and continue to be built today. They're a place where some of the oldest written texts are preserved and some of the newest technology connects visitors with vast amounts of knowledge. Libraries are changing, but, as places that are fundamentally free and open to all, they're also staying the same. Libraries of the World explores the most stunning examples, but it also explores how varied the idea of a library can be. It can be a grand Baroque hall with leather-bound tomes or a mid-century masterpiece, but it can just as easily be a few shelves in a repurposed phone booth.
Little Ghoul Goes to School

But what if Little Ghoul’s greatest fears come true—and everyone is nice? In this hilariously silly take on a monster’s first day, Little Ghoul learns that school can be fun for creatures of every kind.
