From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] Glaciers, by Alexis Smith is a lyrical, sensitive look at a day in the life of Isabel, a librarian, whose passion is shopping for thrift store finds and bits of ephemera. Lovely prose, Smith writes with great expression: "Isabel walked right up to the glacier. she could hear its sighing and dripping. She put her warm, plump hand on the heaving lung of it. She could feel its breath and the minute spaces inside filling with water and the great creases pulling in the sky." Recommended for readers who enjoy a character-driven novel.
