September is just around the corner and with it comes Library Card Sign-Up Month - a perfect time to discover all the incredible resources the library has to offer! If you didn’t know, your MCard serves as your library card. While you don’t need to sign up for an additional card, this month is a fantastic time to check out the array of streaming, gaming, and reading materials available here at the University library!
One such resource is the library’s OverDrive collection. Whether you’re searching for academic texts or just some leisurely reads, there’s something for everyone. If you’re interested in ebooks or audiobooks, here are just a few highlights from the collection:
