Emory Libraries has your holiday reading, viewing, and listening options

latte and open bookAt the Emory Libraries, we have been working hard behind the scenes to make sure you have access to the academic books you need for your research, teaching, and learning. Now that the winter holiday break is near, we want to ensure you have some leisure material to enjoy. To relax, we are reading, listening to, or watching a variety of treats from good detective thrillers to some of the most famous opera arias of all time. We invite you to check them out, too.
