Quench Your Thirst: A Fiction Reading List for Adults

Mere days ago, we set up our next exhibition, Water/Ways, at the Laramie County Library. Thanks in large part to Wyoming Humanities and The Smithsonian Institute, this exhibit features all things WATER  (as if you couldn’t get that from the title. I know.).

Water is a resource for all things in our lives—so it shouldn’t be a surprise that the below titles offer a unique look at water (that you can delve into from the comfort of your own homes!).

Perfect for book clubs, discussion groups, or just because you’re interested in looking at a familiar subject matter in a new light. We’ve got these titles at LCLS—stop in and grab one, then take a peek at the exhibit!
