Romance novels, as defined by Harlequin, “are stories that are usually simple, with a happy ending.”
Note: We also have an excellent selection of exceptional contemporary (realistic fiction) and romance novels located on the central fiction stacks.
Pocket Westerns
Pocket Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, produced the first mass market of small pocket-sized paperback books in the United States in early 1939, which revolutionized the publishing industry. And they are still popular today.
Texas
We are proud to have a collection of Nonfiction and Historical Fiction books about the "Great State of Texas."
DVDs & Audio Books
The library retains a substantial inventory of videos and audio books. Videos are identified with a green dot on the album cover spine, by using the first two letters of the video title. Audio books are identified by using a blue dot with the first two letters of the author’s last name. We do not accept VCR tapes, cassette tapes or any music media.
