The essential question of why Cranbrook was “a town without books” following the railway’s arrival in 1898 is answered in Who We Are: The 100 Years History of the Cranbrook Public Library (Wild Horse Creek Press $19.95), by professional librarian Mike Selby. Born and raised in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, Selby is a dedicated writer on print culture, having published over 900 newspaper articles on libraries and reading. His work, which covers subjects like the history of libraries during the Civil Rights Movement, offers a historical look at the Cranbrook Public Library, complete with historic photos. 9781778282294
