Downton Abbey Book Display

If you love watching the PBS series, you’ll be pleased to read the real stories behind “Downton Abbey.”  During the entire month of February, the book display across from the Reference Desk on the 2^nd floor will feature books about World War I, Edwardian fashions and  the architecture of Country Homes, castles and estates in England.  The Library also has these titles which have already flown off the shelves: (hint…place a hold on them to read them when they are returned):

•     The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes
•      Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey by Fiona Carnarvon
