Dick’s new and growing collection holds texts ranging from poetry and essays, to fiction, scholarly monographs, comics and art books. Visit Dick’s online catalogue here.
On our catalogue, you can browse Dick’s collection as a whole, or you can use the filters in the right-hand pane to navigate according to genre, language, theme, and subject area. Please note that the catalogue includes both circulating and non-circulating items.
Our catalogue is a work-in-progress. Check in regularly for new items, updated filters, and original blurbs for the titles in our collection!

Book Care
Dick’s encourages readers to leave index cards, fragments of paper, tabs, or post-it notes in borrowed books future readers. We hope that the space between the pages of the books in our collection can become a site of cruising, longing, reflection, community, and critical commentary.
