Q. How can I easily find popular reading books in the catalog?

The Library carries a selection of recently published popular fiction books, shelved on the northeast side of the Reference Reading Room.  These books are available for checkout for a three-week period.

You can search for  popular-reading books in the catalog in much the same way you search for other items, as detailed in How do I find a book by title? and How do I find a book by author?

These links will give you a list of the recently published popular reading books shelved in the Reference Reading Room:

Hint:

Your selection may be checked out. Click the title of a book in the lists above to get to their catalog record.  In the catalog record, click the "Detailed items" link at the bottom of the record to see if your selection is available. If the item is checked out, a hold can be placed on it by clicking the "Request" link near the due-date.
