It's a new semester here at Durham Tech which means the Library has a huge haul of brand new books to check out. This is going to be a long list since I had a hard time choosing which ones to highlight. Believe me when I say we have so many more awesome books on the New Books shelf right now!
There is still time to check out one (or two or three or four!) of these new books to read over Thanksgiving Break.

There are lots of ways to attend to your own mental health needs and for many, meditation and yoga or other mindfulness practices may be beneficial. Check out some of the free (or temporarily free) apps that you can use to practice these skills. Note: Some of these apps offer
