Books
Books cover
virtually any topic, fact or fiction. For research purposes, you
will probably be looking for books that summarize information
on a particular topic.
Libraries organize
and store their book collections on shelves called "stacks."
Some books purchased by the Library may be available
electronically (as e-books).
