Summer Reading
Looking for a good book? Summer gives you a chance to read for pure pleasure. We won’t be giving out stickers, candy, or other prizes for finishing a book, but we will gladly offer suggestions to help you find the perfect book for you! Here are a few to consider:
American Boy by Larry Watson
Summary: On Thanksgiving Day 1962, the shooting of a young woman sets off a chain of unsettling events in Willow Falls, Minnesota, all revolving around Matthew Garth, who becomes obsessed with the shooting victim and with the lavish lifestyle of a local doctor's family.
Before I Go To Sleep by S. J. Watson
Summary: Christine wakes each morning unaware of who she is and unable to recognize the stranger in her bed. Prompted by her doctor, Christine writes a journal about her life and reads it each morning. And as fragments of her memory return, she uncovers the shocking reality of what triggered her condition.
Calico Joe by John Grisham
Summary: This story, based on the Cubs and Mets 1973 season follows the divergent paths of Joe Castle, a rookie hitter for the Chicago Cubs, and Warren Tracey, a hard-throwing Mets pitcher.

New Online Resources
With the new fiscal year, we have implemented several changes to library online resources. We have added more users to our license for Netter Reference and have added Naxos Music Library.
Netter Reference: The student tech fee now pays for a 500 user license for this Netter Anatomy resource. This should allow all our students in Rad Tech, EMS, Nursing, Dental, Biology, O&P, and any other interested department to have access. Access it through the Articles, Databases and More tab on the library home page. Just click on the Databases A-Z list.
Naxos Music Library: To supplement our Music Online streaming, we have added Naxos, the world´s largest online classical music library which offers multiple streamed versions of most works. We have only a 5 user license, so please urge your students to logout when finished. Access it through the Articles, Databases and More tab on the library home page. Just click on the Databases A-Z list.
Due to low usage, we have discontinued our access to Art Index Retrospective, which indexed articles on the arts from 1929-1984 without full text. However, we still have Art Full Text, with full text from 1997 to present and indexing from 1984 to 1996 of an international array of peer-selected publications on all aspects of the arts, including advertising, archaeology, architecture, art history, computers in art, decorative arts, fashion design, graphic arts, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, motion pictures, museology, non-western art, painting, photography, pottery, sculpture, television, textiles, and video.
