The Buzz...About Books

When the temperature outside reaches the mid-30s, it may be time to hang up those skates.  On May 30, the final round of the 2011/2012 NHL playoffs will begin.  If you're interested in reading material to pass the time between games, Toronto Public Library has hundreds of books about hockey.  History, biography, coaching manuals are widely available but I wanted to highlight some of the more unusual hockey-themed books that the library has to offer.

Although I was looking for unique hockey books, I wasn't really expecting to find poetry:

Going Top Shelf: an Anthology of Canadian Hockey Poetry edited by Michael P.J. Kennedy

Hockey Haiku: the Essential Collection by John Poch and Chad Davidson

Night Work: the Sawchuk Poems by Randall Maggs

Or romantic fiction:

Any Man of Mine by Rachel Gibson

Summer Light by Luanne Rice
    Audiobook
    Large Print
    Talking Book (restricted to Print Disabled patrons)

Taking a Shot by Jaci Burton
