Staff picks

Overview

Each month, the librarians of the Luxembourg Learning Centre curate a special selection of books to highlight and share with our academic community. These “Staff Picks” reflect not only our professional expertise but also our personal enthusiasm for the written word—whether in law, science, literature, or beyond.

The goal is simple: to offer readers a fresh and diverse perspective on what’s worth discovering, revisiting, or debating. Whether you’re a student looking for inspiration, a researcher seeking depth, or simply a curious mind, our monthly picks are designed to surprise and engage.

Selections may include newly published titles, hidden gems from our existing collections, or thematic groupings tied to current events, anniversaries, or academic trends. Each book is chosen by a librarian who briefly explains why it stood out—be it for its originality, relevance, readability, or impact.

We believe libraries are more than repositories—they are living spaces of ideas and dialogue. Through this initiative, we hope to foster a stronger connection between our collections and our users, and to celebrate the richness of knowledge available at the Luxembourg Learning Centre.

So, take a look at this month’s selection, and let yourself be guided by the recommendations of those who know the shelves best. Happy reading!
