One of the projects I do in the library is to check books over before they go to the shelves to make sure everything on the book and in the record are as they should be. I always think it’s interesting to look for patterns in these new books as they show up on my cart and I noticed a lot of them this week have to do with genius. Check them out! Everyone can use a little genius in their life. These titles are housed at the Cedar Rapids campus, but may be requested to be sent to Iowa City and all the other centers.
