Enjoy A Classic

“Books--oh! no. I am sure we never read the same, or not with the same feelings."

"I am sorry you think so; but if that be the case, there can at least be no want of subject. We may compare our different opinions.”                                       ― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

In 1813, Jane Austen published her masterpiece, Pride and Prejudice, which has arguably become her her most famous book.

Take this opportunity to read and discuss the classic that still inspires 200 years later as it is quoted, reproduced, and retold repeatedly in print and film.

Copies of the book are available in the library, and electronic books and audios can be downloaded for free from a number of online sources (book: www.gutenberg.org and audio: www.classicly.com).

Meet the lunchtime discussion group at noon in room 122 on Thursday, February 27, to discuss this timeless work. Bring your lunch!

New View

If you've looked for a book recently in the CCSNH Libraries' catalog, you'll notice that it looks a bit different.  We've recently upgraded our system to make it easier, friendlier, and more visually appealing. 

When you click on the Library Catalog link on the Library's homepage, you can type a keyword, title, or author's name in the search bar.  Advanced searching is available if you're looking for a specific item, year, or edition.

Searching for "college" gives you 396 hits.  You can narrow down your search by clicking on any of the Format options on the left.  This page will indicate if items are available, or if they're checked out. 

Clicking on the first title "The College Board Book of Majors 2009" gives you information about the book, including its location in the library.

 Feel free to ask for assistance from library staff to use the new catalog, to locate, or, check out an item.
