We are very excited to announce that junior Renee Yong has been selected as the 2016 Patricia Lindell Scholar. Renee was selected from a very impressive group of applicants. Renee will be working with Professor Julie Gilbert to investigate the ways that academic libraries can help foster a culture of leisure reading on college campuses. The project will also investigate reasons why leisure reading is important.
Look for more leisure reading promotion and activities coming from the library in spring 2016. You can read more about past Patricia Lindell Scholar projects (and the paper award) here.
Congratulations, Renee!
