Phillippa Gregory has recreated the Tudor Court with the story of The Constant Princess. Focusing on Catalina (the Infanta of Spain), also known as Katherine of Aragon, this novel shows some of the behind-the-scenes politics of the royal court. This is a fascinating read! -Christine Aden

Hi! I’m Augie T. Dog, the Tredway Library’s mascot. Although I primarily live at the Circulation Desk, I’ve been known to wander … just to show off the new clothing my student workers have designed and created for me.
I take my job of promoting the Tredway Library very seriously. Go Tredway!
