Senior Books

Each year, we ask graduating seniors who work in the library to select a book that they particularly enjoyed reading, or that has special meaning for them, to include in our collection. An honorary book plate bearing the student’s name and year of graduation is placed inside the cover of our collection’s physical copy in recognition of their service to the library. Their choices are showcased in this online collection, along with thoughts they have shared about their book and about working in the DeWitt Wallace Library.
