The NYU Shanghai Library has a small, carefully selected collection of leisure books in English and Chinese. Our leisure collection is unique to our library, and features recently published materials (mostly fiction) in a variety of genres.

You can browse our newest leisure books on the New Arrivals shelf, right as you walk into the library, or look for books with a Leisure sticker along the spine in the main collection. On this blog, you can browse our Goodreads shelves for all of the books in both English and Chinese. We’ll also highlight new leisure books periodically on this blog.

Is there a new release you’ve been just dying to read? We welcome your suggestions! Fill out the information about the bookB inB this form, and we’ll consider adding it to our Leisure collection.
