It may not seem like the start of fall outside, but according to the addition of pumpkin lattes at coffee houses and the plethora of sweaters at stores, fall is here! Another way to tell is the few weeks of break you have from classes. We know you have a lot to do, but make sure you're finding time to unwind so you can start the fall term refreshed.
You have a short break from reading textbooks, so why not peruse the Book Buzz blog from USA Today to find something a little lighter? It's frequently updated to keep its readers updated on the literary world. For example, today you could read about the Man Booker prize finalists or read a few reviews on fiction releases.
There are a lot of great new releases this fall that are already generating buzz, like the new book from J. K. Rowling (author of the Harry Potter series). "The Atlantic" published a slideshow preview of some of them.
If you get excited about reading books and want to talk about them, consider joining a book club or reading a book with a friend. The website "Lit Lovers" has a great guide on getting started, from selecting a title to generating questions for fiction or non-fiction.
We hope you'll also stop by your LRC to select some books or use the Internet. If you're unsure of hours of operation over the break, call or email us. We look forward to talking with you and seeing you soon!
