Hi everyone!

The UConn Library maintains a leisure reading collection of 300 books, which circulate frequently and are a popular feature of the library. We lease our books through the McNaughton Lease subscription program<https://www.brodartbooks.com/library-services/collection-development/popular-title-subscriptions/mcnaughton-lease>. It works, but we’d like to learn what other libraries are doing.

How is YOUR library doing leisure reading? Are you purchasing titles outright? Are you working with a different vendor (not McNaughton or Brodart) to lease titles? Do you have an electronic component of leisure reading, such as Overdrive or RBDigital?

Thanks in advance for any information you can share!

Regards,

Michael Rodriguez
