Did you know the library has a collection of audio books available for checkout? Audio books are a good entry point for the student trying to understand a text further or simply would like to listen to a book.

The titles we own vary from traditional non-fiction such as Everything You Know About God is Wrong to classic literature such as Romeo and Juliet. We also have some current fiction such as The Children of Hurin.

Whatever your interest, we should have at least one title in our audio collection that would be of interest. Come by the library and browse the collection located near the Short Stories on the main floor of the library.The audio books check out just like any other book.

The Middle East Studies Club is organizing its third annual poetry reading in our beautiful Luria library at SBCC by the library buzz shack area on Wednesday March 18 from 7 to 9pm. Our members will be reading from the various poetic and epic traditions of the Middle East in the original languages of the Middle East (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi and Turkish) and in translation. We encourage professors and students to attend and to bring a one to two minute reading to share with the participants and attendees.

We will serve tea and sweets in good Middle Eastern tradition. We will
also share information on the Persian New Year (Nowrooz/New Day) which
marks the renewal of nature at the vernal equinox, March 20-21 this
year, and will show a Persian new year's display called "haft sinn."

Please join us in what has fast become an SBCC tradition!

Salaam, shalom and merhaba!
