Pack a book for Spring Break!

I recently went to a poetry reading by Minnesota Poet Laureate, Joyce Sutphen, and she read one of my favorite poems of hers, called “What to Pack” (click on the link to hear her reading it).

It got me thinking: Spring Break is coming soon, and I need to figure out what book I’m going to read to keep me busy while everyone is off-campus!  It’s a good thing I work at OSF Library…

Are you going somewhere for Spring Break this year?

Don’t forget to pack a book from the libraries’  Leisure Reading collection!

The Leisure Reading collection includes “popular fiction and materials generally not considered scholarly or appropriate for an academic library’s permanent collection.”  Translation: it has great books that are fun to read when you are lying on the beach (or lying on your couch pretending you are lying on the beach!).

You can browse the collection on the main floors of both OSF and Keffer Libraries, or see a complete list of leisure reading titles in the CLICnet catalog. Items are available to current UST students, faculty, staff, and Friends of the OSF Library, and they can be checked out for three weeks – perfect for that spring break siesta!

Have a fun and safe Spring Break!
