Some Books to Read During Labor Day Break

Labor Day weekend is a very popular opportunity for library patrons to come in and load up their arms with books to read over the end-of-summer break. As always, I have a general introductory book list at the ready for them! Many of these were a hit and fit well for the time of the year and/or holiday theme. So, I guess it's worth sharing here then too! Happy reading and Labor Day!
