New books (and more) added to the Gardner-Harvey Library in June!

 

Gardner-Harvey Library Book Display for Pride Month


We add many new items to the collection each month, and we hope you'll check some out. Take a look at our New Books shelves or the New Media Display for some of the titles, or skim down our new materials list of items we added to the collection in May!  You may also want to take a look at our monthly book display, for Pride Month in June, near the front entrance.

We added 182 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list can be sorted by call number, area of our collection, or by title. There is definitely something here for everyone!

Here are ten titles from the list, to give you an idea of what we've been buying: 
  • The plot to save South Africa : the week Mandela averted civil war and forged a new nation / Justice Malala
  • Slow AF run club : the ultimate guide for anyone who wants to run / Martinus Evans
  • A trans man walks into a gay bar : a journey of self (and sexual) discovery / Harry Nicholas
  • Ableist rhetoric : how we know, value, and see disability / James L. Cherney
  • Museums and wealth : the politics of contemporary art collections / Nizan Shaked
  • Battle of ink and ice : a sensational story of news barons, North Pole explorers, and the making of modern media / Darrell Hartman
  • No one will come back for us : and other stories / Premee Mohamed
  • Girlfriend on Mars : a novel / Deborah Willis
  • Such kindness : a novel / Andre Dubus III
  • Robotics : everything you need to know about robotics from beginner to expert / Peter McKinnon
This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials, in reverse chronological order. We are eager to hear from you about individual items you would like us to buy, or types of items we should be on the look out for, or general subject areas we should build up in the collection.

If you have a suggestion of something to order, please use our "Tell GHL to Buy It" form, email Alan Kelley (kelleya@miamioh.edu), or drop by the library with your request. And pass your general suggestions or comments about the collection to us in those same ways. 

If you know some titles we should add, we have acquisitions funds available.  We look forward to your suggestions of items to add to the collection.  

This is the last update from our 2023 fiscal year, which is now concluded.  We added 2948 items to the collection, thanks to you!
