UIS Library invites you to join us for our first UIS Library Reading Challenge, running from January 12 to April 19, 2026.
How It Works:
Step 1: To participate in the challenge, read a book that matches one of the squares on the bingo card. Ebooks and audiobooks count, too!
There will be limited access to the 4th floor of Brookens due to necessary roof repairs. This facility update affects the entire fourth floor of the building, including the library stacks and study spaces. If you need to request materials from the fourth floor for pickup at the circulation desk, please consult this brief overview of the process.
