Cutler Memorial Lending Library
In February 2004 Doris Cutler donated 180 books to the REASON Library in memory of her husband Don. I added a hundred of my own and compiled the following list. I assigned works
to six categories, and alphabetized them by author within each category. Some books fit more than one category, such as Spiritual Warfare: The Politics of the Christian Right, by Sara Diamond,
which could be filed under either Politics or Religion. I list a book only once (Politics, 4c in this case), so look around before you conclude we don't have a particular book. For book reviews, Google
the title or search Amazon.com. To borrow a book, contact me through our group.
