The D. H. Hill Jr. Learning Commons isn’t just for study and work anymore. Because the NC State community needs leisure reading too, the NCSU Libraries is proud to announce the debut of a Popular Reading Collection in the southwest corner of the space.

Drawing upon selections from the National Public Radio (NPR) Book Reviews, the collection houses over 400 popular titles ranging from fiction to nonfiction and cookbooks to graphic novels. The collection is funded by the Parents Association Endowment and the NCSU Libraries.

“We are pleased to add these timely, well-regarded selections to our suite of engaging print book offerings for the NC State community,” says Greg Raschke, Interim Vice Provost and Director of Libraries. “Print selections such as the Science Best Sellers and NC State Faculty Author Book Collections have been incredibly popular among students, faculty, and staff. We expect similar use from these new popular titles.”
