LEISURE BOOK CLUB

Program Overview

The Relax and Read book club was introduced on the HSC campus in March 2016 as an opportunity for students, staff, and faculty to discuss books that are for leisure reading.

Vote for the next book selection by filling out our form: Book Suggestion Form

 

The Three Steps to Participating:

  1. Sign up via email at: bhslnpm@ouhsc.edu or in person at the 3rd-floor service desk of the Library, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
    • You must present your OUHSC ID to sign-up and receive one of the 40 available books, which often go very quickly
    • Due to the limited number of books, we reserve the option to limit book distributions to only two faculty/staff per department each semester.
  2. Join us for a book discussion each semester in person or via Zoom. Dates, times, location, and links will be emailed to all members prior to the meeting.
    • Contact Payton Patterson by e-mail or phone: 271-2285 ext. 48725 to inquire about receiving the book through interagency mail.

For more information, please contact Payton-Patterson@ouhsc.edu, Bird Library staff
