New Books for June!

{New titles available in the Business Center}

New Books for Spring!

After what seemed like endless cloudy and rainy days in March and April, May has brought warm, sunny days to mid-Michigan. There's never a better time to grab a good book and sit outdoors to enjoy the sights and smells of spring. The Business Center has received a large number of books this past month, ranging from debt reduction, financial education for children, to handling workplace stress. In this yearly period of renewal, if you have concerns about your financial situation, or know someone who could benefit from the information the Business Center has to offer, stop by and check out one of these books, or request one to be sent to the branch of your choice.

FT/Goldman Sachs Book of the Year

2012 Financial Times / Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year

A while back I posted the finalists for the FT/GS Business Book of the Year on the Business Center's Facebook page, and the winner has been announced: Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power, by Steve Coll. Coll has previously written about the CIA and the Bin Laden family, and again in this book sheds significant light into something shrouded in secrecy: America's largest, and arguably the most private, publicly traded company.

This is surely a good read, and there are multiple copies available, including one here in the Business Center. Stop by for a great read for the holiday weekend.
