Now that the weather is getting a bit chilly you might find yourself wanting to curl up with a good book. And though we are an academic library, we have many books you can read for fun outside of your studies. Browse for interesting reads in the new books section located on the second floor between the Circulation and Reserve Desks. This section is constantly updated with books on relevant topics as well as more popular picks like best sellers. Drop by often to see what is new!
If you go down to the first floor you will find the Reading Lounge. The reading lounge has books for young adults as well as more popular books. We think of this section as mostly dedicated to reading for fun though you can still learn many things form these books. The Reading Lounge also has a dedicated Graphic Novels section. There is a diverse range of titles so you will surely find something that suits your interest.
Last but not least, there are tons of books you can read for fun in our Main Collection. Located on the third floor you can brose your favorite subject area or take a look at the literature sections (P call number range).
