How many times have you visited one of the university libraries? How many libraries do we have on campus? If it took you a few seconds to answer either of these questions, it probably means you are not utilizing one of the university’s most significant resources. With nearly eight million individual volumes, the libraries have information on any topic you can think of, and every one of them is free!
Typically, when students think of the library, they only think of it as a quiet place to study or to do research Our hope is for students to realize
our library system is full of potential for purposes other than school projects. The U of M libraries are full of fiction and nonfiction stories that students can check out to explore different topics, learn new skills, or read for fun. From brand-new trending novels to all-time classics, these books are underutilized by U of M students. Who should use the libraries as a source of free novels, instead of paying for them in stores or online. The library also contains a great collection of cookbooks with recipes and tips to help out in the kitchen, which we know every college student needs!
