Recreational Reading Collection

WELCOME TO EBLING'S RECREATIONAL READING COLLECTION

You can use the tabs on this page to browse books for reading outside of class or work.  Included are popular non-fiction, fiction, and poetry books with health themes or written by authors in the health field, as well as graphic medicine books.

Evidence shows that reading literature outside of work or coursework greatly impacts empathy and helps broaden one's views, which has been demonstrated to enhance the health education experience and patient care.

All items in this collection are shelved on the first floor of Ebling and can be checked out with a valid UW-Madison Wiscard.  Loan periods are the same as the main collection.

To see if an item is available, click the book cover and a link to check availability will display.  

SUGGEST A BOOK

Is there a book that made an impact on you as a health sciences student or practitioner? Use the suggestions tab to share the title and a brief note on why it was important to you. We'll consider it for our collection.

SPECIAL THANKS

The non-fiction collection was seeded with a generous grant from the Friends of the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries.
