March 1: Some ideas for finding spring break pleasure reads + A book of the week
EXPLORE
As we head into Spring Break, consider exploring our physical and virtual displays to find a pleasure read for the next week. Saddled between mods, a week long respite from school is the perfect time to sink into a good book--if you are a remote student, definitely check out some books we’ve talked to students on campus this year that are available to you digitally in ebook and audio--the library can vouch for these titles! Our Book of the Week feature is another great place to get reading ideas and consider entering the 2021 CSW Reading Challenge while you are at it.
We hope that, with travel restrictions due to the pandemic, that you travel in your mind between the pages of a book this March.
