Adult Fiction

Dog Person by Camille Pagán.

"Harold may be an aging mutt, but Amelia May, the romance novelist who adopted him, taught him a thing or two about the human heart before she died. And she left Harold with a final task: to help her partner, Miguel, find love again. Now if only Miguel would stop getting in Harold's way by being so very . . . human. Trouble is, the grief-ridden recluse rarely goes out, not even to the bookstore he and Amelia owned together. Now it's in danger of going under, and when a renowned author doesn't show up for his event, it pushes the store's already precarious finances into the red. In a final attempt to save the bookstore, Miguel and Harold set out to find the no-show and insist he fulfill his obligation. But instead, they're greeted by Fiona, his sunny yet secretive sister. Fiona is intent on protecting her brother's privacy-and to Harold's horror, she doesn't like dogs. But her precocious eleven-year-old daughter, who's also named Amelia, immediately befriends Harold . . . and he can't help but wonder if his Amelia was right when she said there are no coincidences in life. Harold is quickly running out of time to accomplish his mission, but he's certain Miguel will find something far more important than a missing author: his own happy ending."-- Provided by publisher.

C is for Courting by Shelley Shepard Gray.

"Adult siblings Martin, Beth, Kelsey, and Jonny Schrock are all longing to reinvent their lives, and decide that living with their Old Order Amish grandparents and testing out the Amish faith might bring them the order and peace they're looking for. Eldest brother Martin ultimately decided being Amish wasn't for him, but he did get one good thing out of it: during his time in his grandparents' community, he met and fell for kind-hearted Patti Coblentz. But how can they sustain a romance once he decides to stay English? Meanwhile, Beth is the final sibling in line to try the Amish experiment. As she begins her time in the Amish community, Beth takes a job at Junior Lambright's candle factory. It doesn't take long for sparks to ignite between them, but neither expects a romance, due to the circumstances-Beth is about to take on the biggest responsibility of them all: she is going to be a mother . . . a single mother. Will Junior and Beth find a path to togetherness, or will the scandal of being unwed and pregnant in their Amish community be too much for Beth to overcome?"-- Provided by publisher.

Adult Non-Fiction

Delivering for America by James H. Bruns.

The United States Postal Service (USPS), founded on July 26, 1775, has been a vital thread in the fabric of American history since before the nation even existed. As the country expanded--from the early colonial days to the frontiers of the West--the postal service made it possible for citizens to stay connected, exchanging letters and ideas that helped define the nation. Today, the USPS boasts a remarkable 77% approval rating, making it the most admired federal agency in the country, even outpacing NASA. In celebration of its 250th anniversary, this book chronicles the rich history of the USPS, from its colonial origins to its modern-day innovations. As the nation grew, the mail system grew with it, evolving from horseback riders to rail, air, and even space. Readers will learn how early colonists created their own postal system to challenge British censorship, how post roads helped unify a diverse country, and how postal workers braved dangers--like driving a gold-filled train back East during a financial crisis or flying mail across treacherous skies in the early days of aviation. The book also delves into how the postal service was a lifeline during the Great Depression and continues to shape our lives today, through cutting-edge advancements like electric vehicles, automation, and email. It offers fascinating stories of how the USPS has adapted and innovated throughout history to meet the needs of an ever-changing nation.
