Rediscovered Classics Virtual Display

 

There were approximately 2 million new books published in 2023, and very few of them will be remembered and read in 2073. Yet, millions of people still read and love these books today. Now, you likely are not aware of many books that were popular around the world two-hundred, one-hundred, or even just thirty years ago. However, millions of people also read and loved those books.

 

Just because a book has been forgotten, does not mean it is not worth reading. Why not take a trip through time and read a buzzy new author from 1914? Or a highly anticipated new book from 1824? Or a Nobel Prize-winner’s first successful novel? Try a Rediscovered Classic at the Lansing Community College Library.
