I'm very pleased" to tell you that the library plans to adde200 new books next month. And I'm asking you, Book Club members, to recommend what books we should buy. You might want to know about the books that have been added to our library in the past year, so let me say something about that. We have 30 new autobiographies and biographies. Most of them are about important historical figures. They aren't very popular, though. Some of them have never been borrowed. We also bought 20 poetry collections last year Like autobiographies and biographies, however, they aren 't very popular: There are 20 new plays. Students enjoy reading plays, and they become more popular when students need to perform plays for class or club activities. The library also added 30 short story collections and 300 novels. Of the 300 novels, one third are modern novels and the rest are classic novels. The novels include more than 50 adventure stories and nearly 70 romances. There are about 60 historical novels and twice as many science fiction novels. Short story collections and novels have always enjoyed the greatest popularity among students. They are nearly always checked out Now that you know what books the library added last year and how popular they are, please send me a letter by this Friday to recommend the types of books we should buy. It would be great if you can include some examples. I look forward to reading them!
