Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook.
The holiday season is upon us and that means our thoughts now turn to gift-giving --and, for a lot of us that includes books.
With so many choices out there -- walking into a book store this time of year can be a bit overwhelming -- especially if you're buying for someone else's reading taste.
So on this program.we thought we'd help you narrow down the list by giving you the "top" book picks for adults and children compiled by those in the know.
We've invited back Adele Boeske , Head of Children's Services at the Derry Public Library --and, Jeff Smull, General Manager, of the "Toadstool Bookshop" in Keene to give us their top 10 Picks. We so enjoyed their summer reading list --we wanted to know what they recommended for "Holiday" Gift Giving.

We'll talk to the author of a new book on the subject, Donna San Antonio Eddy of the Appalachian Mountain Teen Project. She looks at the role social class plays.
