Go Ahead, It's Good For You

Chill out! Students working in our Interlibrary Loan department had a table at the annual wellness fair. Here they are, proving the point that reading leads to happiness. We're happy they took the initiative to represent the library at this event. Looking for something to read? Check out our latest list of new books.

Jane Kirtley of the Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law will be here Thursday, November 17th at 7:00 p.m. in the Interpretive Center to speak on "Shooting the Messenger, or Shooting Ourselves in the Foot? Challenges to a Free and Independent Press." Join us for some stimulating conversation - one more event for our September Project events. (She's brilliant, by the way.)
