Join the HSC leisure book club, Relax and Read, which is a complement to Read and Lead!
Relax and Read is sponsored by the Robert M. Bird Society, with Library faculty facilitating the book club.
Book Exchange
In 2015 BHSL Staff created a Relax and Read Book Exchange on the 4th floor of the Library in the Recreational Reading area. Turn to your left once you exit the elevator. If you see a book in the exchange you'd like to read take it and if you have a book you're finished with leave it, it's that simple.
Enjoy!

Educated: A Memoir
Book Summary
An unforgettable memoir about a young girl who, kept out of school, leaves her survivalist family and goes on to earn a PhD from Cambridge University
Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University. Only then would she wonder if she’d traveled too far, if there was still a way home.
