Browse HIL’s glass “New Book” display. It’s situated behind the Commons Cafe in the newspaper/comfy seating area. New books are often displayed here for a short time before winging their way to our shelves. Enjoy!

You asked…we listened! HIL has added seating space to the Commons Cafe. Drop in, grab a coffee and take a look.
