Collection Update!

Hi, Book Lovers!

We're thrilled to announce that the Leisure Reading Collection is undergoing an exciting update! Starting fall 2024, we're expanding our collection with some fantastic new benefits:

  • A Wider Selection: You'll soon have access to an even broader range of leisure books, making it easier to find what you're looking for and request almost any leisure book!
  • Faster Availability: New leisure books will arrive at our campuses more quickly, ensuring you have the latest titles in no time.

Rest assured, the Leisure Reading Collection isn't going anywhere-- it's just getting better! You may notice some changes on our shelves as we make this transition, but we're working hard to keep the collection full and vibrant. Look out for new titles, and feel free to request any leisure books you'd like to see added to the collection!

   Stay tuned for updates, and happy reading!

Why do we have a leisure reading collection?

A leisure reading collection in an academic library promotes a balanced approach to intellectual development and well-being. Such collections encourage students and staff to engage in recreational reading, which can reduce stress, enhance creativity, and improve overall mental health. Additionally, leisure reading fosters a lifelong love of books and learning, supports literacy, and helps build a sense of community within the academic environment. By providing a diverse range of reading materials, the library becomes a more inclusive and welcoming space, catering to the varied interests and needs of its users.
