Summer Reading

Are you looking for some summer reading? Are you "stuck" here taking (or teaching) a summer class? Check out the Browsing Collection in Irwin Library. It just inside the main doors on the right, at the entrance to the Current Periodicals Room. Here is a very brief list of the many books available:

The Big Bam: The Life and Times of Babe Ruth, by Leigh Montville
The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, by Barack Obama
The First Emancipator: The Forgotten Story of Robert Carter, the Founding Father who Freed his Slaves, by Andrew Levy
The Time Traveler's Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger
Deception Point, by Dan Brown
Love Me, by Garrison Keillor

If you're looking for something new to broaden your mind, challenge your thinking, or just entertain you, our Browsing Collection is just what you need!

Soft Seating

During the summertime, the Butler Libraries like to make improvements and adjustments to the physical space in the libraries. One of those that has already taken place is in the area of "soft seating." Additional seating has been added and some of the seating that was older or in poor condition has been replaced.

It is our goal to provide our students (and faculty and staff) with a comfortable and friendly environment for study, reading, relaxing, and computer usage. This soft seating upgrade is one step in the continuing process.

Before You Leave Butler

Just a reminder that before you leave Butler for the summer (or for ever), you should check to make sure you have all your library materials turned in.

Go to My Library Card and log in. If Current Loans does not say 0, then click on the number to get the titles of the materials you still have checked out. Use this list to collect everything you still have out from the library and bring them back to the library before you leave.

ALSO, make sure you check in ILLIAD to verify that you don't have any InterLibrary Loan materials still out. Go to https://illiad.butler.edu/logon.html and log in. Click the button that says "View/Renew Items On Loan" and make sure there's nothing listed.

When you've double-checked both of these places, you're clear!

Have a terrific summer!
