Summertime Reading

Today we welcome a guest blogger, Rachel Mastin, UPSem MACE/MDiv student...

It's summertime and for most people this means less trips to the theological library. A public library sure, they've got kids books and movies and light summer fun reading and air conditioning. But wait! The Morton Library has all of these things too! On the second floor you can find a wide variety of children's books, my favorite recent discovery is "Hooray for Diffendoofer Day!", a compilation between some old Dr. Seuss notes and drawings, Jack Prelutsky and Lane Smith. You can also find movies up on the second floor just inside the doors to the IRC - come browse and pick something up.

And what about fun, relaxing, lighter than Von Rad reading this summer? On the first floor of the Library, sandwiched between books on learning biblical Greek and Hebrew and our collection of Greek and Hebrew bibles, you can find books by C.S. Lewis, Wendell Berry, Garrison Keillor, A.A. Milne, Wally Lamb, Barbara Kingsolver, Anne Lamott, Gail Godwin, Philip Pullman, James Baldwin, Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll and more! These books are fun to read and provide potential sermon illustrations or small group discussion pieces as well. Stop by the Circulation desk to say Hi and let us know if we can help you find some summer reading!
