Featured Fiction

Read a good book lately?

No, not a textbook, or a journal article, or any one of the many pieces of information you read for classes. We mean a good book, one with a captivating story that carries your mind away to a different world inhabited by memorable characters. The kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve returned to the obligations of homework and assigned reading. After all, librarians will be the first to say that sometimes books should be read purely for the joy of the written word.

That’s why Hannon Library is excited to introduce a new Featured Fiction Section. We’re making it easier for you to find that perfect recreational read.

Featured Fiction

Located within the first floor New Books Alcove, Featured Fiction brings some of the best available fiction books front and center in an easy-to-browse display. No need to roam through the shelves or search for titles in the catalog—just look for the book that catches your eye, right there at your fingertips.

This rotating collection is stocked with award-winning titles in multiple fiction genres, including short stories and books for young readers. Each book is hand-chosen by librarians to offer you a quality reading experience.
