Welcome back owls! If you are new to CCI, come visit us in the Library or checkout the "New to CCI?" page for important information!
Check out this display of our new books (mostly novels with a few graphic novels and fun non-fiction thrown in) listed in alphabetical order by author's last name.
Click on any book cover to go to the CCI library page on Goodreads.com. Once there, click on the book title, book cover or author name to find out more: plot summary, readers' reviews, author information, trivia, and lists. You will need a free Goodreads account to do this.
