Is there an area where I can browse to locate current fiction and non-fiction books?

There is not a separate browsing collection or area in the libraries for recently acquired titles that is identified as such in the catalog record.

The GCC Main and GCC North libraries do have small collections of contemporary and popular fiction and non-fiction titles in a "Leisure Reading" collection. These are arranged by the author's last name under the broad non-fiction and fiction categories.

We also keep newly acquired titles in a book cart near the Reference/Information desk at GCC Main for a brief period before they are shelved in their permanent locations. For additional fiction and non-fiction titles, you will need to search the catalog by the author or title to see if it has been added to our collection and assigned a call number.
