It’s been over a year since medical Student, Peter Polewski, asked Ebling’s Director, Julie Schneider, if Ebling could obtain some graphic medicine novels for our collection. She obliged then, and has obliged since. All of the books are now in the Popular Reading area (near the magazines) and a red star will be on those with a medical theme. There will also be a list of the titles we currently have, so that you can put a title on HOLD if it has been checked out. Here’s some background from Peter.
It is our hope that you will be able to take a creative break from studying that enhances your learning about illness and medicine.
These titles can be found in the Library Catalog (as part of the Ebling Library Class of ’47 Collection), and you can borrow them or reserve them. If you’d like to comment on this subject you can comment on Ebling’s Facebook page, or comment here. If you’d like to recommend a title, do that here. Thank you, Peter…
