New fall book display: Cundill History Prize

The Humanities and Social Sciences Library has put together a book display of Cundill History Prize winners, as well as titles that were longlisted for the Prize.

Administered by McGill University, the Cundill History Prize rewards the leading historians of our time. The nominated works embody historical scholarship, originality, literary quality, and broad appeal.

The Prize is named after McGill alumnus F. Peter Cundill (1938–2011), who was a philanthropist, sportsman, diarist, and renowned global investor.

The book display is located on the main floor on the Humanities and Social Sciences Library, in the Redpath Library building.

This year’s longlist will be announced on September 26, 2017.

What’s on Your Summer Reading List?

by Nikki Tummon, Liaison Librarian, Humanities & Social Sciences Library

The Humanities and Social Sciences Library has put together a stellar collection of fiction (with a sprinkling of poetry for those who want to look arts-y at the beach) for your reading pleasure this summer.

We have a brand new Book Display on the main floor where you can peruse the collection in person and borrow as many as you like. You’ll find best sellers, classics, literary masterpieces, and thrillers, just to name a few.

There’s something for everyone. I suspect many of you will be saying to yourselves, “I didn’t know the library had these kinds of books…” Now you know! Happy reading!
