2011 Mock Sibert: Reading List #2

This is the second of four short lists for the Mock Sibert election at the Allen County Public Library. Be sure to check out the first list, too. We'll continue to highlight and discuss a wide variety of informational books on our blog, and we encourage your comments on all of them. The books on this short list, however are now destined to be "brought to the table" to be discussed in more depth at our Mock Sibert Discussion and Election on December 11, 2010.

We'd love to hear what you think about these books. Please leave comments about each title on its respective blog post. If you'd like to suggest a book for the final list, send me an email or leave a comment.
