Travel Memoirs

The roads are often slick and dangerous at this time of year - why not stay home and read a travel memoir? Then you can live vicariously through the adventures of others while staying warm and safe at home.

Why read a travel memoir? 

1. No luggage! Let someone else do the packing. Just sit back and enjoy. 

2. No lines! Visit beautiful historical landmarks without waiting in line. 

3. No hotels! Enjoy exploring far off locations from the comfort of your favorite reading chair. 

4. No awkward moments! Let the author have those awkward moments tourists experience in foreign lands. 

5. No stress! Avoid listening to the kids scream in the backseat and arguing with stubborn drivers who don't ask for directions. 

Here are just a few of the travel memoirs GPL has for you to check out. You can find them as well as others on the display near the Adult Reference desk on the second floor.
