Looking to delve into some tasty literature? Then curl up with our Great Reads Collection, located on the third floor of Koerner Library.
The six-month pilot program features more than 300 books – from bestsellers to Canadiana to popular fiction. This innovative offering provides campus residents, community members, faculty, staff and students easy access to leisure reading materials on UBC’s campus.
Popular reading collections, a staple in public libraries, aren’t as common at their academic counterparts. However, 94 per cent of respondents to a recent survey stated that they might, or definitely would, use a leisure reading collection at UBC.
As a result, UBC Library’s Great Reads Collection was launched, providing community and campus members with a handy location for leisure reading.
An accompanying website features a comment form for feedback. In upcoming months, the website will feature the covers of available books, an RSS feed of new titles and links to book reviews.
Let us know what you think – and happy reading!
