Browsing the library shelves at the University of Alberta Library can be a fairly daunting process. We have eight library locations spread across four campuses! Where to begin? Today we are taking a look at leisure reading books from the Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

In the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), reading often means tackling dense, technical texts. However, there’s a growing collection of lighter, more accessible STEM books that make complex topics enjoyable for everyone. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or simply a curious enthusiast, these books offer a fun and enlightening way to explore the wonders of science and technology.

This blog article was inspired by a book display that caught my eye at our Cameron Science and Technology Library this spring. Many thanks to Debbie Feisst, Head, Faculty Engagement (Natural + Applied Sciences) and Grace Telder-Romanow, Information Services Specialist for these wonderful book suggestions!


Click the book cover images above for the direct link to the NEOS catalogue. Many of these books are available in digital format but we may also have access to print versions so let us know if you need help.

 For even more book suggestions, have a look at our #Good Reads blog posts.
