LEWISBURG, Pa. — One theme pulsing through several of June's top web stories: "new."
There's the brand-new Barnes & Noble at Bucknell University Bookstore, which opened its doors this past weekend in downtown Lewisburg.
And then there are the newest members of the Bucknell community, the 925-member Class of 2014, some of whom were highlighted in a three-part summer web series.
The Class of '14 and bookstore stories were easily among the most-read stories of the month. The 2014 series alone has already topped more than 8,300 reader views since being published.
