Patch Picks: Norcross Librarians' Book Picks

Every week we bring you a list of the best of the best of Norcross.

Looking for a good read? The Norcross Public Library has you covered. Patch asked the librarians for their top picks this week: 

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks: One librarian points out that this is a great example of a new genre: creative non-fiction. 

The Help: This is probably the most requested book at the library, according to the staff.

A Time to Plant: This book about a farmer at a Benedictine monastery is dense in content but not thick, a pick of one librarian. 

Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Judy Moody: For the not quite enthralled elementary reader, these books will get them hooked.
