We hope you plan to take some time off from work this summer – whether it’s a getaway to the beach, a trip across the globe, or simply a retreat to your back deck. Before you leave, stop by and take a look at our Books to Take on Vacation display. We’ve picked books and audiobooks that are recent or current bestsellers, as well as some past favorites and new arrivals that are generating buzz. Many of this summer’s hottest titles have yet to be released, so if you don’t find something the first time you look, please come back to check out June and July’s new releases.
Your vacation reading doesn’t have to involve schlepping around a 300-page book in your beach bag. We also have many eBooks and audiobooks that can be downloaded to your iPad, iPod, Kindle, NOOK, laptop, smartphone or other mobile device from the library’s website http://ezp.bentley.edu/OverDrive/bentleyu. Simply log-in with your Bentley username and password to get started.
Stop by to browse the display or check out our Books to Take on Vacation Pinterest board. Don’t forget to check back often – we’ll be adding to the display as new items arrive and as currently checked-out items are returned.
What does vacation reading mean to you? Perhaps it means that you read a different type of book, trading your textbooks for historical fiction, abandoning the business how-to titles to indulge in celebrity memoirs, or putting aside your research to pick up the latest Swedish crime novel. Perhaps it means that you get to do more reading, polishing off two or three books during your time away instead of struggling to read a few short chapters before bed.
