Common Reading

Shepherd University's Common Reading initiative is a way to involve campus and community in the reading and discussion of a single work. Events run throughout the year and here is the current events schedule for this year.

 

  

This year's Common Reading selection is Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other by Dr. Sherry Turkle; its call number is HM851 .T86 2011.

 

Copies of this work are held in the general collection, upstairs on the third floor.
