Need some holiday reads? Before you leave, pick up a book to read!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Did you know that the Recreational Reading Collection<\/a> offers over 1,000 titles for pleasure reading to current Rutgers affiliates?<\/p>\n

Physically located in the Carr Library, these\u00a0books are available for local browsing and pick up, as well as delivery to a library of choice, similarly to other books from the collections of Rutgers University Libraries.<\/p>\n

A research guide<\/a> has been recently published with resources and ideas how to find books to read for fun, which is one of the best methods to take a break from studies and work. Genres include Fantasy Fiction<\/a> to escape to a world full of magical elements, Murder Investigation Fiction<\/a>, featuring a wide variety of crime stories, Man Woman Relationship Fiction<\/a>, aka romance novels, Life Change Events Fiction<\/a>, with titles relevant for different age groups during the most difficult times in their lives, and special topics such as Mothers and Daughters Fiction<\/a>. Book reviews<\/a> can also be a good way to find books of interest.\u00a0If you don’t find a book you are looking for, please contact us<\/a> with your recommendation. We’d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n

The collection is currently managed by librarians<\/a> from the Books We Read<\/a> project, an initiative based in the Chang Science Library focusing on promoting reading in various settings. Recent programs include Summer Tales 2021<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/b>, a reading program during the summer session and contributions to Banned Books Week 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n
