…with summer reading season in full swing, here is a reminder about the SLU Libraries Browsing Collection. Located just in front of our Special Collections area in ODY, the Browsing Collection is made of up of both nonfiction and fiction, and is assembled with the serious reader in mind. A sampling of current titles in the Browsing Collection includes (picked to emphasize variety):
- Journal to the End of Islam by Michael Muhammad Knight
- History of White People by Nell Irvin Painter
- Broonland: The Last Days of Gordon Brown by Christopher Harvie
- Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne

The Browsing Collection is available to anyone with borrowing privileges, and, again, these titles which are all on display are suggested to hopefully suggest the breadth of what is available. Check ’em out!
