Teen Read Week

CRH students, it's Teen Read Week, so this week is about you in the library!  (Faculty and staff, feel free to participate too. After all, reading is for everyone!)

In the beginning of the school year, we advertised that YALSA nominated titles for this year's top books, and you were able to vote online.  We hope that you did, but even if you didn't, we're holding our own election.

The display table in the Reference Room holds copies of several books that were nominated this year.  View the nomination list, then leave a comment here, tweet us @CRHLibrary, or complete a paper ballot in the Reference Room to vote for your favorite book.  

College Information

Did you know that the Quiet Study Area is home to a number of college guides?  At the library, we know that selecting a college is a lot of work, so we have some new books to help you and your college counselor find the best fit.  Be sure to visit the library to see our whole collection!
