News from the Library
- Calling all Mitford fans! The long awaited novel by Jan Karon is finally here. "Home to Holly Springs" is the first installment in her new series, the "Father Tim Novels". Father Tim, the beloved retired Episcopal priest, is back -- and following a mysterious summons, he's traveling down "memory lane" to his hometown of Holly Springs, Mississippi. His journey is filled with colorful characters, heartfelt insights, and plenty of laughs -- but will the destination yield surprising secrets, too?
