Does Bird Library have any fun novels, leisure reading or fiction for me to borrow?

Syracuse University Libraries keeps a curated collection of leisure reading books on the first floor of Bird Library, left of the Launchpad. These books are selected by a team of librarians for relaxing and leisurely reading. Leisure reading books are marked with stickers that say “leisure.” Additionally, check out our research guide on leisure, pleasure, and relaxation for more tips and recommendations on leisure reading.

To browse novels, short stories, and poetry, check the 5th floor of Bird Library in the PN-PZ sections of our collection.

There is also the Little Free Bird Library bookshelf on the first floor of Bird Library near Pages Café. Anyone can donate leisure reading books here for anyone else to take.
