Looking for new books to read? Look no further than the McLennan-Redpath Library Building! A brand-new area has been added to the main floor of the building showcasing new print books added to the library collection throughout the year. Located next to the pods near the elevators, new books will be added to the display, making it easier for you to find your next read!
On the behalf of the McGill community, we would like to give a huge congratulations to our very own Svetlana Kochkina on one of her recent successes. Head of Lending and Access Services at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, Svetlana recently published a book based on her dissertation from her PhD here at McGill!
The book, titled “Frances Burney’s “Evelina” : The Book, its History, and its Paratext,” traces the publication history of Burney’s novel from 1778. The book is available for purchase online, as well as through the library as an ebook and print book.
Congratulations once again to Svetlana, a fantastic representation of the talented authors we have within the McGill community!
Having become a popular social media platform in recent years, TikTok offers all types of content for users worldwide. On this app, BookTok has allowed people around the world to share their favourite books and give recommendations to others. The BookTok community has become more significant than just the platform itself, with bookstores and libraries now having displays containing the recommendations stemming from the platform.
Through the McGill Library, the community has access to a wide variety of books. More specifically, the Library OverDrive for web browser and the Libby app contain a wide selection of e-books and audiobooks available to borrow, including books recommended through BookTok!
Below are just a few of the hundreds of available books on the platform, all perfect for the summer and BookTok approved!
