A couple of days after updating <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/update-books-in-the-time-of-corona\/\">Books in the Time of Corona<\/a>, our new goal at Books We Read became to create virtual reading communities for Rutgers, turning our LibGuide\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">into <a href=\"https:\/\/libguides.rutgers.edu\/BWRonline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Books We Read Online<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first initiative on this platform, RUGRAT, <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/rugrat\/\">Rutgers University Groups Reading Alone Together<\/a> was launched earlier this week ago to engage anxious students also confused by the new requirements.<\/p>\n<p>It is our pleasure to announce the birth of its sister, dubbed &#8220;Cook Reads&#8221;, a community for Cook people, who love reading and who were so enthusiastic about the <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/sebs-little-free-library\/\">SEBS Little Free Library<\/a> when it <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/sebs-little-free-library-open-now\/\">opened at the beginning of February<\/a> in Foran Hall.<\/p>\n<p>We embrace the diversity of interpretations to the phrase Cook Reads. Please check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/cook-reads\/\">main page of Cook Reads<\/a>, which aims to become a gateway to reading, a new <a href=\"http:\/\/sites.rutgers.edu\/books-we-read\/sebs-little-free-library\/virtual-sebs-little-free-library\/\">Virtual Little Free Library<\/a>, a community, where Cook people can share their experiences.
