New to the Library – Popular Fiction Collection

The Mortvedt Library is proud to announce a new addition to our offerings; the Popular Fiction Collection. This collection hopes to encourage exploration through storytelling and contemporary literature, as well as motivate lifelong learning and curiosity. The idea for this collection came from a goal to showcase the library as not only a place for academic research, but also for play and personal exploration. The titles chosen for the collection cross genres and feature diverse authors from around the world. The curation of the collection focuses on award-winners and bestsellers from the past five years, paying special attention to diverse voices.

The collection will be held on the first floor of the Mortvedt Library in order to better showcase these materials to our patrons. The books will function on a first come, first serve basis and will not be eligible for renewal. This is to ensure the collection remains browsable and visually accessible, encouraging serendipitous information seeking.

Head to our Popular Fiction Collection page to read more about each title.

We hope you enjoy this collection and that it can help kick off your fun summer reading plans.
