MSU Library’s annual Open House selects a theme based on a classic work of literature.
Over the years the event has taken us around the world, into the labs of scientists, and down the rabbit hole.
To keep the literary tradition of the event alive, we have asked event partners to
select a book for our Open House Virtual Bookshelf found below. Please browse these
selections to find your next good read or discover a book that may help you through
the semester.
We’ve provided a link to the library’s catalogue record so you can place holds and
drop in at your leisure to check out your choices. And remember, you don’t have to be a Bobcat to borrow from MSU Library; Montana residents
are eligible for a community borrower card.
