The final week of summer is coming to a close—a moment when many of us naturally reflect on what we have accomplished, experienced, and managed to navigate. It is an ideal opportunity to pause, step back from daily routines and the rush of life, and immerse ourselves in reading. Books offer not only a window into the wider world but also a chance to reconsider our values, broaden our horizons, and revisit the themes that matter most to us.

Reading is far more than a pastime or a form of relaxation. It represents a process of personal and intellectual growth, through which knowledge is gained, critical thinking is honed, and empathy is cultivated. During this final week of summer, you are invited to devote time to works that distinguish themselves both in content and form, leaving a lasting intellectual and emotional impression.

This season, we recommend books that explore diverse cultural, historical, and social experiences, offering insights that deepen understanding of the world’s complexity and human nature.

You can borrow these books through the VILNIUS TECH Virtual Library. After receiving a notification that your order is ready, pick up the items at the designated location: the Central Library (1st-floor lobby) or the reading room in your faculty.
