With our fall programs in full swing this week, it’s time to take a breather and present a little column that we here at Airdrie Public Library (APL) call Overheard at the Library.

Every month, Airdrie Public Library staff sends the Airdrie City View some short synopses of some of the books they have in their collection. Here is APL's August "Book Page," highlighting both fictional and non-fictional reads Airdronians can enjoy this fall.
