What Delaware is Reading: College Edition

Written on: August 19th, 2009 in News

School may be (mostly) out at the Wesley College and Delaware Technical and Community College libraries, but students are still reading and preparing for the upcoming semester!

Here are last week’s most popular titles at our academic library partners:

• Vanilla : the cultural history of the world’s most popular flavor and fragrance
• A history of Greece
• Liberty and tyranny : a conservative manifesto
• Act like a lady, think like a man
• How to live in small spaces : design, furnishing, decoration,
