Chester Fritz Library Updates

January is probably my least favorite month. It’s still dark and cold. Spring is a distant dream and the excitement of the holiday season is done. I always feel like I need a little extra help. The recommendations this month are focused on ways that we can help ourselves.

With the end of the semester approaching quickly, finals are right around the corner and that means winter break will be here soon. In just a few weeks, you may find yourself with more time for hobbies, such as reading. The Chester Fritz Library provides Libby, an app that gives students, faculty, and staff access to nearly 5,000 books and 1,000 audiobooks available for electronic checkout. All you need is your UND username and password. If you haven’t already, sign up for Libby today!

The Chester Fritz Library is excited to now offer thousands of electronic books and audiobooks on Libby, the popular library app for your Android or iPhone.  If you have any questions about signing up, or using the app, reach out to any of the librarians or Peer Research Consultants in the library or on chat.
