Reading Recommendations

Staff Pick Recommendations | WashU Libraries Book Club | Faculty Book Talk
The University Libraries are your informational hub for research – but we also read for fun. Join us in celebrating and discussing some of the books your University Libraries’ staff and university faculty have enjoyed. Goodreads users can follow us for recommendations directly.
Want a more comprehensive reading selection? Check out our LibGuide on Local Libraries in the St. Louis area to see how Washington University students living on campus can get a library card. University Libraries involve more than research, so be sure to browse their book discussion or events calendars!
