We invite you to peruse the 2025 edition of the UC Berkeley Summer Reading List for new students! This year’s theme is “generosity,” and the list features a wide range of fiction and nonfiction books recommended for you by enthusiastic Cal faculty, staff, and students.
Availability can change throughout the month based on the library's budget. You can still place a hold on the title, and your hold will be automatically filled as soon as the title is available again.
The library card you previously added can't be used to complete this action. Please add your card again, or add a different card. If you receive an error message, please contact your library for help.
