For more information, call the Circulation Desk, at 309-794-7310.

The next time you’re in the library, stop by the Leisure Reading Collection on 2nd floor next to the elevators. You’ll notice that we are expanding the collection to include a greater variety of books — nonfiction, memoirs, science fiction, biography, self-help, and more. This expansion is in response to many of you requesting it! Last year we distributed a Library Satisfaction Survey and several respondents asked us to consider purchasing more titles in Leisure reading. We are pleased to announce that we are aiming to increase the number of titles in this collection from 250 to 400.

We’d also like your input about what books you’d like to see in this collection. If there is a newly published hardback book that you’d like us to consider purchasing, please go to http://www.augustana.edu/library/about/leisure.html and fill out the request form.

Thanks, and happy reading!
