\u201cMy favorite library resource is our amazing Media Services<\/a> collection.\u201d \u2013Kathy Lehman, Supervisor, Access Services<\/p>\n \u201cPerhaps my favorite book is Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez\u2019s One Hundred Years of Solitude<\/em><\/a>. I used to re-read it every year or so, just to re-enter the magical-realist world of the Buendia family and the town of Macondo.\u201d \u2013Gary Kramer, Publicity Manager, Temple University Press<\/p>\n \u201cOne from my childhood comes to mind, and has stayed there through many decades: The Secret Garden<\/em> by Frances Hodgson Burnett<\/a>. This was the only book my mother saved from her childhood, and it still sits safely on my bookshelf behind glass doors and surrounded by as many versions as I have been able to buy!\u201d \u2013Sandi Thompson, Head, Ambler Campus Library<\/p>\n \u201cNaxos Music Library<\/a> is a music streaming service, mostly classical music. I’ve used it since I was in undergrad, and there are recordings of lots of my favorite hard-to-find pieces in there. Another is Underground and Independent Comics, Comix, and Graphic Novels<\/a>. It has both primary-source content (digitized comic book issues), and scholarly articles and interviews about them. Plus, it lets you search by character and genre, which is pretty neat.\u201d \u2013Anastasia Chiu, Resident Librarian<\/p>\n \u201cI suggest two films by Bob Fosse\u2014Cabaret<\/em> <\/a>and All That Jazz<\/a><\/em>. Media Services holds these films in their collections, as they are absolute classics of both cinema and performance. \u201d \u2013Nicole Restaino, Manager for Library Communications and Public Programming<\/p>\n \u201cSome of my favorite books are The Bell Jar<\/a>, The Secret Garden<\/a>,<\/em> and The Lord of the Rings<\/em> trilogy<\/a>\u201d \u2013Fobazi Ettarh, Resident Librarian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Get to know one of Temple University Libraries\u2019 greatest resources\u2014its staff!
