Lisa Lepore: "On Reading" Featured in AU Common Thread
Los Angeles Library Director, Lisa Lepore, contributed this thought-provoking essay "On Reading" to The Common Thread, AU's newsletter for faculty and staff.
There’s a ton of research which says reading sharpens our minds to help us understand complex structures, develops sophisticated conceptual connections, expands our use and facility with language, introduces diverse thinking that strengthens our own, improves writing, and, when we deep
read, moves us into a heightened state of existence. Reading affirms the importance of community and can introduce us to brave and outspoken people we would never otherwise encounter, those who
surprise us, undo us, and restore us. As James Baldwin says: “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.” Let’s get students to read more, inside and outside of their disciplines, and across genres.

OCLC Member Stories: Antioch University Library
Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) Member Stories recently featured Antioch University Library. AU’s library, which supports approximately 5,000 students, faculty, and staff members across all campuses and through online programs, first migrated the five separate campus systems to a cloud-based management system in 2013. The consolidated library offers more resources and provides students with access to all of the AU library locations, as well as extensive online collections.
