The end of 2019 is approaching so now is the time to look at what we've read and watched this year and determine the best of the best. We've chosen some of our favorite books and movies from our collection that we read or watched this year to highlight in a display inside the library. 

I'd like to give a shout out to one of my personal favorites from this year: 

Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez

Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

By Caroline Criado Perez

This book made me angry on every page and I'm so glad that I read it. Apparently, everything in the world is gendered. Including snow plow routes and heart surgery recovery rates. I learned so many new things and will be gifting it to at least two people this holiday season. If you read it we can be angry together! Yay! It also counts for the social science category in the Durham Tech Library Read Great Things Challenge 2019. It's not too late to finish!

IAnd now, in no particular order, these are the Durham Tech Library Staff Picks for 2019. Personally vetted for excellence and enjoyment. 

Find these and more on display in the Main Campus Library!
