Librarian's picks

One of my colleagues is making up a display of "Librarian's Picks" -- books that we personally enjoyed or recommend.

It was fun picking out a stack of favorites from the shelves for her. She asked for at least three (or more) each of fiction and non-fiction, and of course I couldn't limit myself to that. The selections are partly altered based on what was actually available on the shelf and looked nice enough for a display, so many older classics were disqualified (too worn out looking, alas.)
