Recreational Collection

WELCOME TO EBLING'S RECREATIONAL COLLECTION

The collection includes health themed popular non-fiction, poetry, and graphic medicine books.  There are also board games and popular fiction.

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.  Book loan periods are the same as the main collection.  Games check out for two weeks.

SUGGEST A BOOK OR GAME

Is there a book that made an impact on you as a health sciences student or practitioner? A game you love? Use the suggestions tab to share it and 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.
