“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”

- Ernest Hemingway

On April 23rd we celebrate World Book Day! The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization proposed World Book Day as a day of celebrating the joy of reading for enjoyment (YES PLEASE)!!! Did you know that individuals who regularly read for enjoyment develop a broader vocabulary, increase their general knowledge, and have a better understanding of other cultures than their non-reading counterparts? Whether you read traditional physical books or turn to your Kindle, iPad, phone, etc., reading’s a passport to this and many other worlds.

Did you know that you can read around the world in the Learning Commons? The Learning Commons has thousands of books for you to discover! Come browse the shelves, check out the Stories from Around the World Collection, our online catalog, or visit Sora for Audiobooks and eBooks!
