CUAA's Zimmerman Library put together resources for summer reading including books on sports, travel and the outdoors, and classic novels.
In addition to Concordia University Ann Arbor students, faculty, and staff having access to all library resources, Concordia alumni can also access online resources in the Zimmerman Library and check out materials.
“Reading allows us to escape and experience new things without leaving our home. Summer 2020 looks a lot different from previous summers. While we may not be able to travel, go to sporting events or go to the movies, we can still escape into a book,” said Liz Hartig.
The eBook titles are links that can be accessed by using a CUAA portal login information. Click here to browse all of the eBooks in CUAA’s database.
