Girl With the Dragon Tatto

Hello everyone,

The November book will be "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. This book seems to be very popular right now and all of our copies are currently checked out. Please let me know if you need a copy so that I can put you on the hold list and make sure you get a copy as soon as possible. Just send me an e-mail to nancyc@lislelibrary.org.
