The Open Book CollectionThe Open Book Collection is an integral part of the café space, providing a casual "bookstore within a café" environment. The collection invites students to escape from studying (if only for a little while...) to enjoy the comforts of a good book. The Open Book Collection is continually being expanded to include the latest general fiction, mystery, and science fiction bestsellers. Other subjects featured in the collection include hobbies, entertainment, self-help, travel, and sports and fitness. The over 700 DVDs include feature films, live concerts, and award winning documentaries. If you don't see what you want, drop us a note in our suggestion box! |
