A pilot program initiated by the Friends will insure that the library has at least two copies of the current best-selling fiction, nonfiction and self-help/how-to paperbacks as determined by lists published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. New purchases are added weekly to keep the collection up-to-date. The books have special yellow identification stickers and are shelved next to New Books. The paperbacks may be checked out for two weeks and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
