As part of Eisenhower's 50th Anniversary celebration, this month's book will be The Stepford Wives by Ira Levin, released on paperback in 1973, the year the Library was officially founded.

For Joanna, her husband, Walter, and their children, the move to beautiful Stepford seems almost too good to be true. It is. For behind the town's idyllic façade lies a terrible secret—a secret so shattering that no one who encounters it will ever be the same.
