With Valentine’s Day as its central holiday, February is famous for love. February is also National Library Lover’s Month so “love is in the air” no matter where you look! There are lots of wonderful sentiments and song lyrics that celebrate love such as “love conquers all,” “love makes the world go ‘round,” and “all you need is love.” The emphasis can often seem to be on romantic love but the love we feel for a good friend is just as important and deserves to be celebrated as well. So if we think about love and friendship together there is one saying that seems to incapsulate Valentine’s Day and Library Lover’s Month quite nicely: “If you have a book, you have a friend.” This month, we’re paying tribute to love in all its forms whether romantic, platonic, familial, or the love of a good book! Check out one of these love/friendship-related titles available from the University Libraries and listed on our WU Reads Reading Guide.
