It’s back to school time once again! And we at the Farmington Public Library believe that kids shouldn’t be the only ones lucky enough to learn new things! Every week in September, we’ll be rolling out eight books on various subjects to spark your interest and encourage you to keep learning, no matter your age!

This week, we’re getting existential and thinking deep thoughts with eight books for the casual philosopher!

All of these titles can be viewed from our online catalog.
