More space for the large print books, mysteries now shelved within the fiction collection. Come in and see. Are there changes in “Pam’s Picks?” No, just new books, and here are the picks of the week. Who would be first on my list, Marshall Karp with “Kill Me If You Can.” Wait doesn’t he write with that other guy? You might know him, James Patterson.
