Dickinson Reads

The Dickinson Reads collection highlights recent literature and non-fiction titles for leisure reading, most of which are purchased from Whistlestop Bookshop, Carlisle's independent bookstore.

These books are located inside the library's main entrance and adjacent to the Biblio Cafe when they are first purchased.  After about a year, they are relocated to the general book stacks in the library to make room for new books on the Dickinson Reads display.
