We\u2019re all mostly inside these days, with the exception of that daily walk, run or bike ride that keeps you sane and at a safe distance from others. While we lament the many hardships that this pandemic is bringing to our communities, we also invite you to settle in for some quiet, stillness and contemplation. Art has always been a tool to get us through hard times. Here are some old favorites and new works from our collection to help you get through your quarantine. Some of these are available via CloudLibrary<\/a> as audio or ebooks. You can also contact your favorite local bookseller and order copies of these books. We recommend Longfellow Books<\/a>, Print<\/a>, and Quill<\/a>. They will send you books and you will help them to stay afloat in this time of crisis!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
