Leisure Reading Opportunities

Reading for pleasure is a positive habit we support with:

A leisure reading collection in the first-floor lobby with bestsellers, new releases, popular romance and graphic medicine.
Online access to publications such as the Dayton Business Journal and the Dayton Daily News, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, National Geographic, Vogue, Rolling Stone and more.
The Cameron Corner, a collection of books and a comfortable reading nook on the fifth floor, is named in honor of Alex J. Cameron (1937–2003) and his love of reading.
