In the Know @ the Bentley Library

The library will be closed for the Independence Day holiday on Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th.  The library resumes regular summer hours on Sunday, July 5th at 1:00 p.m.

In response to student requests received during 14 Days to Have Your Say!, 32 new study carrels and new standing workspaces are being installed in the library this week.

As June is Audiobook Month, I’ve been pondering why I enjoy them so much. They save time. I can listen to them in the car [commuting or on road trips]; walking my 10,000 steps; waiting around for music lessons and the other kid’s activities to be over; de-cluttering the house; folding laundry and the ever popular, Yard Work. These are all activities that I really don’t like and listening to a book can makes the task less odious. I listen to all kinds of content: fiction & nonfiction; short stories & full length novels; all types of genres. I try to mix it up.

Are you one of those people who looks around to see what other people are reading on the train? Are you curious to know which movies and TV shows your fellow colleagues and students are watching? Have you been considering trying out an audiobook, but would like a recommendation? If so, you will appreciate the 6th annual Bentley Library Top 10!

Exciting journeys await you between the covers of the books in this month’s display. Experience the wilderness of Mt. McKinley with Christopher Johnson McCandless, as told by Jon Krakauer in the book Into the Wild.
