Yes I agree, it’s an excellent idea. I’ve noticed that campuses/ libraries that have education/ creative writing students studying there have the best leisure reading collections, like the Kelvin Grove Library at QUT. I guess it is hard to justify a leisure reading collection at say a Law Library when resource budgets are so tight. I know at the academic library I work at many of the Bonus books that are requested are leisure reading books.
