📚 What’s on their reading list?

In honor of National Library Week, we connected with members of our campus community to find out what they’re currently reading. From page‑turning fiction to thought‑provoking nonfiction, their picks might just inspire your next read.

Hunter Library’s first escape room will open for beta testing starting today, Monday, April 20. The experience is free and open to students, staff, and faculty.

Groups of 1–3 players can participate in this challenging puzzle-based escape room designed to test critical thinking and research skills. To begin, visit the Lilian Buchanan exhibit located near the library’s front doors.

During beta mode, gameplay may take up to 90 minutes. Beta testers will be invited to submit feedback to shape the final version.
