Uber Cool Books

The Reading Lab just published a new uber cool list of reading selections "Books for Brain Power". The titles were selected for their excellent vocabulary and word usage. Lyam Christopher, SLC Learning Specialist says "we believe they offer a natural, fun, and challenging way to increase college-level vocabulary". Check out the Uber-Cool Booklist for summer or fall reading AND ask a librarian to help you find the book.
