- Bookshelf - December 2015 (12/4/2015)
- What book what YOU like to receive as a gift this holiday season?
- Bookshelf - Summer Reading (4/28/2015)
- "What's on your summer reading list?"
- Bookshelf - Books Gifts for the Holidays (11/20/2014)
- OLLI Illinois members respond to the question: "What book do you think would make a good gift?"
- Bookshelf - Book Written Before You Were Born (6/13/2014)
- Reading lets us experience things that we can never know in person, and books can reach across the years to find a new audience. For this issue of The Bookshelf, we asked OLLI members for their recommendation of books written before they were born.
- Bookshelf - Books About Food (3/5/2014)
- We asked OLLI members for their recommendations for a book about food for this issue of Bookshelf. The book might be one in which food serves to underscore the book's theme, something that focuses more directly on food or the people involved in the food industry, such as a book about food writing, food politics, chefs, cooking, or eating.
- Bookshelf - Gift Books (11/20/2013)
- "My best friend is a person who will give me a book I have not read. - Abraham Lincoln" OLLI members respond to the question:
"What book do you think would make a good gift?"
- Bookshelf - Favorite Children's Books (10/22/2013)
- "What is one of your favorite children's books? It could be something that you loved when you were a child, or something that you enjoyed reading to your own children?"
- Bookshelf - Summer and Vacation Reading (6/4/2013)
- What book makes good reading while on vacation? It could be something to read on a train or airplane, or while sitting on the beach, the deck of a cruise ship, or wherever you put up your feet and relax.
- Bookshelf - A Book That Changed My Life (3/25/2013)
- Was there a book that changed your life in some way? Did a particular book make you decide what profession you wanted to enter? Entice you to move to a new city? Take action for a cause? Change the way you behave toward others or yourself? Or help you see the world in a different way?
- Bookshelf - What's on Your Nightstand? (12/11/2012)
- ibrocubicularist - A person who reads in bed.
We suspect that OLLI may be the secret headquarters of librocubicularists, because the responses poured in when we asked what books were on your nightstand. Sheer numbers demanded that we make a separate supplement to include everyone's book. Here it is, and we hope it helps you find more books for your nightstand.
