Library
Discoveries in the Stacks is the Westover Branch Library's occasional exploration of our collection, delving into areas that you may not have visited.
This week we highlight the College and Career section found in a separate part of the non-fiction stacks. Books that can help you navigate a transition to the job market, take a "gap-year," or prepare for college entrance tests, apply for colleges, and survive the college experience can be found at the very beginning of the non-fiction shelving with a red stripe next to the label.
Think you want to explore another culture, earn some money or volunteer for a year before heading to college?
