Every year, the first year class dean selects a common text for students to read and reflect on as you start your Holy Cross experience. The first year reading for the Class of 2029 is Supercommunicators: How to Unlock the Secret Language of Connection by Charles Duhigg. The library has this title available as an e-book (linked below).

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service where you can borrow materials from other libraries and access them through Holy Cross Libraries. You can use interlibrary loan for books, book chapters, journal articles, newspaper articles, and more. If there is a book you'd like to read that isn't available in the Holy Cross Libraries, submit an Interlibrary Loan request and we will borrow it from another library on your behalf.
Print books will be delivered to Dinand for you to pick up and digital items will be delivered electronically. ILL is a great way to get access to materials not available through Holy Cross. It's not just for academics - you can borrow fiction novels and leisure reading too!
