Help in Ordering Reformed books for My Library

I am a public librarian and am doing some book orders. (I am also newly reformed)...I would like to add a few (2?) books on the tenets of Reformed faith...perhaps on the points of Calvinism etc. Our budget allows for only a couple. Our population is mainly lower to middle class with majority reaching high school education and minority with college education. Any books you might suggest? Something like RC Sproul comes to mind but I am not familiar with many others that talk about the doctrines in an easy to understand manner.

Thanks.

You can't go wrong with this one. Easy to read, good short chapters, from a Reformed perspective.

I agree with Jim, and a second one that is easy to read, and yet gets at the fundamentals clearly, is this book by Sinclair Ferguson.
