LCL-Created Booklists Subject Index The following is an index, by subject matter, to many of the printed Booklists and Bookmarks available in the Booklists binder on the shelves of the Reference Department at the Bennett Martin Public Library. All of these Booklists are available for the public to photocopy while at the downtown library, or can be faxed to customers while they are at any of the branch libraries. Please note the dates at the right – many of these lists are several years old, and although the titles included on them were in the library collection at the time of their original publication, they may have since been withdrawn. These lists are kept available for historical purposes. This PDF version of this list was created on November 16, 2005.
