Many of these titles are donated books so they are not newly published but “new” to our library. Donated books allow us to expand our collection more than we ever could with our annual budget so they are always appreciated. Please keep in mind though that when you do donate to the library it usually takes some time before we can get to processing those and if we already have 2 copies of any title we may opt to put some donated books in our “Used Books for Sale”. This still benefits the library of course as we can then take those funds and purchase new books or other supplies for the library. We currently have several boxes in our backroom that we are working on. The patrons of Hooper are so generous!
