Below are three lists of books, television shows, and movies with suggestions from our very own Branson faculty and students.

Lori Deibel, our beloved librarian, has a wonderful resource on the Haiku Library Page. With almost all public libraries closed due to shelters-in-place and campus closure, Overdrive is an easy way to access these titles using your Branson account. From the Library tab on Haiku, click Overdrive E-books and sign in.

Titles with ** are some of my favorites.
