Whether you\u2019re on the beach, sitting poolside or curled up in the air conditioning, a book makes for the perfect summer accessory. While the summer may be winding down, there is still plenty of time to fit in another novel or two amid back-to-school shopping, course planning or one more summer vacation.<\/p>\n

There have been an exciting array of new releases over the past few months\u2014and you can find many of them through the Library, Museums and Press in either print or e-book form.<\/p>\n

Everyone can drop by Morris Library to browse new, popular titles in fiction and check them out for 14 days. This means that even if a book is not available right now, it will be back in circulation soon.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re more of an e-reader, we are constantly adding new titles to OverDrive<\/a> for UD students, staff and faculty to download. If a book is already checked out, you can place a hold on it and receive it as soon as it becomes available.<\/p>\n

We always encourage browsing our physical and digital shelves, but with so many options, it can be hard to know where to start. To give you some inspiration, here are a handful of new summer releases that have already made appearances on the New York Times Best Seller list.<\/p>\n
