Leisure Reading
In addition to building a collection of materials relevant to the academic programs offered at Kent State Stark, the library maintains a collection of books for those who simply enjoy reading.
- Best Sellers Review a list of books in KentLINK that were selected from the New York Times Best Seller list. These books are for local users, so they cannot be requested on KentLINK. Users must come in the library, retrieve a best seller from the shelf next to the library's display case, and check it out in person in the Kent State Stark Library. Due to their anticipated popularity, these books have shorter loan periods than most other materials. If you have recently read a good book, feel free to Contact Us with the necessary information so that we could consider adding it to our collection.
- Displays The library has a large display case near the entrance to the building. Some displays are created to bring attention to current events, some bring focus to diverse aspects of our society, celebrating Black History, Women's History, LGBT Awareness, and some displays are just for fun. The displays are not only created to provide awareness of a particular issue, they also highlight various materials in the library's collection related to the issue displayed.
