President Trump and President Obama have made their reading recommendations. Check over their lists for interesting ideas on what to read this winter.
Many of these books are part of Macedon Public Library’s collection, but any we do not own, or that are checked out, can easily be delivered from another Pioneer Library System library for you to borrow. Just ask any staff member to “place a hold” on any title you would like sent to Macedon. When the book arrives, you will receive either an email, text or phone call to let you know to come and check it out. Best of all, there is no charge to you for this service!
