Every month there are new titles purchased for the Too Good to Miss collections at our libraries. If you're not familiar with TGTM (as we call it here in library-world), it's a special collection of popular books that are truly too good to miss. Some are new and popular titles, others are older titles that might not have had as much media attention as a bestseller or celebrity book club selection but are still great reads that deserve another look. New books are added to the collection monthly, and are available at all Madison Public Library locations on a walk-in, first-come-first-served basis.
For this month of September we have six new titles that were added.**

If you're ever just looking for something "good" to read, I highly recommend browsing the TGTM books at your Madison Library. There's a little something for everyone in this collection and it's my go-to when I'm not sure what I'm wanting to read.
**Linked titles are to the regular copies, which may have hold lists. The TGTM browse collection books are not listed on those records.
