Posted on by Heather Murphy

The University Library is excited to introduce a new leisure reading collection, created to support reading for enjoyment. No syllabus!

The collection, located in the Social Sciences, Health, and Education Library (Room 101 in the Main Library building), will include more than 250 books with many New York Times best sellers and around 100 fiction titles. Leisure reading and play—graphic novels, board and video games, and gaming consoles—are also supported in other library locations, such as the Grainger Engineering Library Information Center, as well as the Media Commons, the Main Stacks, and the Literature and Languages Library within the Main Library.
