The library is excited to feature Bentley University faculty and staff book recommendations in a special book display—Campus Reads: Faculty & Staff Favorites. The display will be in our lobby from July 1 through August 15, coinciding with the Bentley Community Learning Conference being held July 21-23. The books on display were chosen by Bentley faculty and staff who responded to our request to "share the books that have informed, inspired, or entertained you with colleagues across campus".
