GWISE Library

About

The GWISE Library is comprised of over 150 books we’ve discussed in the GWISE Book Club in the past 10 years – and is still growing! You can check out our collection here. Books are divided into 4 categories: Fiction, Science (non-fiction), Social/Political/Historical, and Personal Development/Memoir/Other.

In the spirit of building community, you will be able to see who else currently has books checked out and how many copies are currently available. 

 

How can I borrow a book?

If the book you want to read is available, you can request it by emailing gwise@bu.edu and arrange to pick it up from the book club coordinator at your convenience.

 

If all copies of the book are on loan, you can e-mail the students with the book and arrange to pick it up directly from one of them once they’ve finished reading. Please cc Bryanne (bnmcd@bu.edu) in your communications or inform her once the exchange has taken place in order to update the spreadsheet.

 

How long can I keep the book for?

Until you finish the book, someone else requests it, or you graduate. 

 

How do I return the book?

Contact gwise@bu.edu to arrange the drop-off at the same place you picked it up.

 

Can I donate books of my own to the library?

Sure! Contact us at gwise@bu.edu.
