By the Health Sciences Libraries

For several years now Wilson, Walter and Magrath Libraries have had popular reading collections for users to check out a great new read from both fiction and non-fiction genres. The Health Sciences Library (HSL) is the latest university library to add a popular reading collection for our community. 

Popular reading – with a health sciences twist!

HSL’s collections coordinator, Nicole Theis-Mahon worked closely with her colleagues in Access & Information Services and Facilities to bring a new popular reading collection to HSL. After space and shelving were prepped and ordered, Theis-Mahon took on the task of ordering fifty books to start a new collection.

Theis-Mahon described how she selected the new additions, “The Health Sciences Library collection supports recreational reading and supports lifelong learning by providing opportunities to explore personal interests and well-being. These books also complement topics and content found in our academic collections.”
