Popular Reading Collection: Book Displays

The Popular Reading Collection (POP) was created to provide leisure reading materials for students, faculty, and staff at Santa Clara University.

About Our Displays

Our monthly displays for heritage and themed months are a testament to our commitment to celebrating diversity and creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. By featuring literature that reflects various subjects, cultures and themes, we not only support the library's strategic plan: Priority 4: Optimize the Community Experience but also contribute to the enrichment of our POPular collection.

Interested in Collaborating?

Are you a member of an on-campus group and would like to collaborate with the POP Committee on a display? We would love to work with you!

We aim to install a display for each of the heritage months on the large bookshelf next to the self-checkout machine near the library's entryway. There are also a few seasonal displays, and smaller topical displays that are located on the counter of the Help Desk.

Your role in the process can be as large or as minimal as you have time for.

Help us select books from our Popular Reading section, identify designs that they think could work as a backdrop, and help install and promote the display. 

Fill out this form and we'll get back to you: POP Display Interest Form
 

We look forward to hearing from you!
