Read local (and locally sourced books)

Categories: LIS Staff Interest, Middlebury Community Interest

By sourcing new books for our Browsing Collection* from a local Middlebury bookstore, we’re making a choice to support a local, independent business and our local economy. There are are lots of reasons to “buy local” and now we’re adding GOOD BOOKS to that list. Now that’s reading local. 

You can find our newest books on the New Books shelves and on the Browsing books shelves, located behind the DVDs on the main floor of the Davis Library.

*The Browsing collection is made up of recently published and bestselling fiction and nonfiction, science fiction, fantasy, memoirs, and biographies. Reading to feel good about, for lots of reasons.

Help Shelve a Flood of Books

bookcart
Hello,
The LIS Stacks department is currently drowning in a huge flood of returns.
Circulation Services is looking for LIS “volunteers” to help re-shelve. Do you have any time to spare during your regularly scheduled time between now and the 24th? If so, please check with your supervisor – and if approved by your supervisor, please contact Rich Church. The benefits are great – the hours are flexible, and shelving is a calm, quiet, stress free activity. The only requirement is a willingness to help. We’ll provide an orientation and a brief lesson in the Library of Congress Classification System.
Even an hour or two would help – thanks!
Elin
