Leisure Reading for the Summer of 2026 & University Libraries

The phrase “Reading Is Fundamental,” is a common refrain when it comes to involvement within the educational experience and with support from the University Libraries this becomes an ongoing exercise in mutual learning and intellectual support.

With the Spring semester over and the observance of “Get Caught Reading Month” which is celebrated in May, the opportunities for finding a book(s) to read for pleasure becomes easier and a satisfying way to build on your own growing levels of knowledge.

The University Libraries offers several titles that are designated as volumes for borrow within our “Leisure Collection” which offers the students the opportunity to read non-academic focused works alone. This is a growing collection and the pleasure reading segment can be found within the SHU Leisure Titles catalog.

Graduation Resources & University Libraries

The goal of any student who follows their program of choice through to completion anticipates the reward of receiving their diploma after all of their coursework is completed. Therefore, the terms “Commencement” or “Graduation” are ones that create a milestone for all who earn a degree from Seton Hall University.

Along with offering congratulations to all who achieve this major accomplishment, the University Libraries provide resources that have helped those who aspire to reach this goal. Another aspect of research potential that we offer is background information on the traditions and celebratory aspects of “Commencement” and “Graduation” over time.

From here you can find relevant resources within our SHU Books and SHU Search databases. Specific aspects can be looked up via these helpful tools along with checking out specific Education-Centered Databases  site via the University Libraries Homepage.
