This summer, our ever so quaint Quinn Library 2nd Floor Book Display takes a huge technological leap forward onto Fordham computer screens everywhere! Celebrating The Big Apple is this month’s inaugural theme and includes staff picks with direct links to e-books from our vast online collection.

Explore the virtual book display below to find e-books in our collection that you can read from anywhere (note: display works best in Chrome). To interact with the display, start by clicking the “Enter” button in the top right corner. Then, click on the cover of a book to see a summary. When you find a book you want to check out, click on “Read Now” in the top left to be directed to the library catalog. A list of all titles provided, with links to the e-books, is also included below.
