Our favorite ebooks from the library in 2021!

Here is a look at some of our most used ebooks this year at the D’Youville Library.

The Ethics of Homelessness: philosophical perspectives

This book extends the study of homelessness beyond the need of shelter. A philosophical exploration that exposes the fragility of human fulfillment in contemporary society.
