Welcome Back Issue:\u00a0 It\u2019s All About Reading in 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Popular Reading Collection:<\/strong> Need a break from peer-reviewed journals and scholarly texts?\u00a0 Look no further than the front entrance at Collins.\u00a0 Now you can browse our Popular Reading Collection.\u00a0 This is a pilot project that provides access to \u201cleased\u201d popular books. The collection consists of fiction, biographies, and popular authors on non-fiction topics and is searchable through <\/strong>Collins Catalog<\/strong><\/a> and available for browsing in the reading room of the library. <\/strong><\/p>\n

To make this collection available to students, staff, and faculty while continuing to purchase materials to support learning and research, the library is using funds from an endowed gift.\u00a0 We lease the books from a holding company at a reasonable rate, this way we can exchange them over time and keep the collection current.<\/p>\n

Borrowing rules are different from those for other collections.\u00a0 We loan these books for three weeks, with one renewal possible.\u00a0 Only two books from the popular reading collection may be on loan to a patron at one time, this way the small size of the collection can serve our full range of patrons. \u00a0The collection is meant to help us reach our goal of promoting reading for pleasure and entertainment! To learn more about this effort, visit our subject guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What were they reading? – 125 Years in the Stacks:<\/strong> We have spent the last year selecting 125 books from our collection in anticipation of our upcoming anniversary.\u00a0 Check out our 125 years in the Stacks blog<\/a>.\u00a0 Books along with artifacts from our Archives are on display in Collins Library until mid-March.<\/p>\n

Rocking Chair Room Family Story Hour:<\/strong> We are happy to partner with the community music program and the faculty club in support of outreach to Puget Sound families and our local community.\u00a0 Our first Rocking Chair Reading program was held in December and was a great success.\u00a0 Karen Robbins, Puget Sound graduate and author, read her award winning book, Care for Our World<\/em>.\u00a0 Our next family program is scheduled for February 9th<\/sup> from 10-11 in the Collins Library and Chelsea Pemberton from<\/strong> academic advising along with a great team of student employees, will be presenting a Valentine themed program.\u00a0 So \u2013 gather up the younger generation and pop in to Collins.\u00a0 (special Valentine\u2019s trivia for the adults!)<\/p>\n

Happy Reading!<\/p>\n
