Wheat Law Library new book list for April

April 2011 New Books ListThis list of April's new books at the Wheat Law Library seems to go on and on! And this is just a sampling from the first few pages! Sorry about all of the agricultural books. I must admit that I have a fondness for farm enterprises.

The first sponsored National Library Week was in 1958, and the American Library Association has continued this yearly celebration in April ever since. It's a great time to recognize the contributions our libraries have made to our communities. And, of course, the Wheat Law Library will be celebrating in style!
