Celebrating Purdue authors: A new book display in the HSSE Library, Stewart Center

December 18th, 2025

Visitors to the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Education (HSSE) Library in Stewart Center will now find a new book display honoring Purdue’s authors next to the Cornerstone Reading Room. The collection, drawn from titles featured during the recent “A Celebration of Books Fall 2025” event, is available for both browsing and checkout, offering a window into the wide-ranging scholarship produced across campus.

Each book in the display carries a distinctive “Purdue Authored Book” sticker on its cover and spine, making it easy to identify books written by Purdue faculty and staff. More than 100 authors are represented, with publications spanning engineering, education, computer science, liberal arts, technology, and the social sciences.

Those stopping by the HSSE Library are encouraged to browse the collection—and perhaps discover their next great read authored right here at Purdue.
