Jude the Obscure
Jude the Obscure, the last of Thomas Hardy's novels, began as a magazine serial and was first published in book form in 1895. The book was burned publicly by William Walsham How, Bishop of Wakefield, in that same year.[1] Its hero, Jude Fawley, is a working-class young man who dreams of becoming a scholar. The two other main characters are his earthy wife, Arabella, and his cousin, Sue. Themes include class, scholarship, religion, marriage, and the modernisation of thought and society. Hardy began making notes for the story in 1887.

We wanted to celebrate libraries and their contribution to American and Canadian life. Public libraries are a foundation of democracy, helping create informed citizens. This book attempts to display the full range of the diversity, potential, style, history, and contributions of libraries in the United States and Canada. We looked for regional diversity from east to west and north to south, and temporal coverage, from the earliest libraries to the very newest. We also wanted to include libraries that have successfully undergone change, whether it is relocation, renovation, expansion, new missions, or new clientele.
