This summer, the library student workers would love to hear about any book recommendations you might have. We will put up a display of all book recommendations we receive at the library.

We invite you to (1) take a ‘shelfie’ – a photo of yourself and the cover of the book you recommend; (2) tell us why you love this book- just a sentence or two!; and finally, (3) send your photo to 952-297-9932 or email it to etan001@luthersem.edu. We welcome book recommendations without photos too, if you prefer not to take a shelfie. Any subject or genre is welcome – from theology to murder mystery to poetry!

We would like to set up the display in time for the Summer Residential Focus Session. We hope you can send in your book recommendations by June 12.

Here is a sample of a shelfie.
