Good Reads for Spring Break

By Marcia Lee
Serials Specialist

With Spring Break coming up in a couple of weeks, the question is do you have books to read over vacation?  Whether you are headed out of state to a nice warm beach or planning on staying here in Michigan, staying out of the cold, both options are ideal opportunities to soak in some good books!

Perhaps you plan on using the break to focus on you or pick up a new hobby but need some more information on the “how to’s” of what you want to do?  If this is the case we have countless books on our shelves that can fulfill this void in your life and guide you through it!  If you’re looking for a quick fiction read the GRCC Library can help with that too!  We may have it here on our shelves, but if we don’t there’s no reason to fret, you can always order popular fiction titles through MeLCat or RaiderLoan!  Don’t wait until the last minute if you want to have those books in hand before break, order today!
