Book List
Thanksgiving provides the opportunity to reflect on what we’re grateful for. For many, it’s a time to appreciate our friends, family, and health. At the Library, we’re also thankful for our favorite books. We gathered a cornucopia of texts: some that gave us the information needed to direct our children’s medical care, some that helped us deal with grief, and some that just made us laugh. With these recommendations, you may be grateful for a few more books this Thanksgiving.

Support NYPL
People from all over the city visit NYPL to use its free services. They come to check out books, conduct research, pursue job searches, get homework help, and so much more. In 2015, we anticipate even more demand, which is why we urgently need your help to raise $425,000 before the year ends. New Yorkers are counting on individuals like you to start the new year with the resources they need.

WRITING @ NYPL
Some say writing can’t be taught, but one way to become a writer is to absorb the small canon of books written about writing. Sound a little meta? Well, it is. But whether you’re looking to ease into creative writing, think about literature in greater depth, or simply discover what writers think about writing, these books offer the pleasure of writers thinking about and doing what they do best.

Research
Historical newspapers are useful tools for history and genealogy research. They provide accounts of a particular period in time and supply insight into the customs, cultural values, and social issues that affected communities locally and globally. So, it should come as no surprise that newspapers serve as an invaluable resource for researchers delving into their families’ pasts.
