Your role in Government Documents practice has been exemplary.

Books to Read on the Beach (or Couch!) This Spring Break
How about some FUN reading for your Spring Break entertainment? If you want time away from your textbooks, look over the leisure reading materials on the in the Ellis Library Information Commons. These materials — compliments of the Daniel Boone Regional Library — include novels, magazines, graphic novels and more. These materials are available for you to take, read and then return at your leisure! No need to check them out and no due dates!
Materials will be changed on the first Tuesday of most months, so come back again to see what is new. These items are not part of our collection, so you will not locate them in the library catalog. Take a book and relish the reading!
The MU Libraries wish you a great Spring Break!
