What is Broncos Read?

Broncos Read is a University Library initiative to honor faculty, staff, students, and alumni who represent exceptional scholarship, achievements, and those who embody conscience, competence, and compassion. Similar to the ALA READ posters, the Broncos Read posters feature University members with their favorite book, magazine, or other reading material in a place of their choice on campus.
Each year around National Library Week in April, the Broncos Read committee produces digital posters honoring a student, a student team or club, a faculty member, a staff member, and an alum. The posters are displayed on a prominent screen at the entrance of Learning Commons, and on the Library's website. Honorees will receive a printed copy of their poster and a gift card to the SCU bookstore.
