Can you think of a name for a book collection?

Asked by Stinley (11525points) January 14th, 2016

I work in a university library. We are putting a new collection in place which is for general reading ie non-academic books. It will include best sellers, international authors and books in different languages as well as some popular non-fiction titles. Can you help us come up with a name for this collection please? Fun, funny, witty, helpful – all suggestions welcome.

Not terribly imaginative, but General Interest would be descriptive

Our public library has a section like that called the Popular Library.

And an idea off the top of my head:

Update: the chosen name was Read and Relax, which we didn’t come up with here but was in my list that I sent in. I must have taken all your suggestions and digested them into one pithy title. I claim the glory as ours!

Cool. Thanks for the update.
