With the cooler temperatures upon us, now is a good time to mentally prepare for winter even in Arizona.  These four selections provide various means to contemplate the winter season and especially the winter solstice.  Currently on display in the public reading area of the library, these titles range from essays to astronomy offering different approaches to interpret the impact of longer nights on our daily routines.  Please feel free to visit the library to review these or any other items of interest in the library and archives collections.  For more details or additional collection information, click on the Search Catalog link located in the pull-down menu of the library tab on the Heard website.
