Who said that?

We as people find each other fascinating. That's why the library has such a big biography section. But did you know our biography shelves don't just house books? DVDs and audiobooks are interfiled with the books so you can find everything you ever wanted to know about pretty much anyone from William Faulkner to William Shatner, all in one place. They're alphabetical by the last name of who they're about.


While you're looking at bios, try these titles in our new books display:

-Hands of my father : a hearing boy, his deaf parents, and the language of love, by Myron Uhlberg. B UHLBERG

-The Galloping Ghost : Red Grange, an American football legend, by Poole, Gary Andrew. B GRANGE

-Passing strange : a Gilded Age tale of love and deception across the color line, by Martha A. Sandweiss. B KING

-The first tycoon : the epic life of Cornelius Vanderbilt, by T.J. Stiles. B VANDERBILT
