My Project

This order includes books that were excluded from our one book order allotment for the year because of budget limits, they were out-of-stock, or some other reason. We consistently try to make sure that best sellers for YA and Adult fiction are purchased so that when students see books on "booktok," they can access them as soon as possible, while they are still popular, and so they can tell their friends that they enjoyed them and continue passing the books around!

The more the students enjoy a book, the more likely it is to get circulated!

We are also hoping to continue adding to our furniture collection, with more single cozy chairs to encourage that "best feeling ever" of snuggling into a chair with a good book and reading to your heart's content. It's just another way to make the Titan library the best spot on campus!
