Welcome Back! Aug - Sept 2024
Dispatches from the First Week:
From August 26 - 31, we assisted 187 students with various needs and questions. The majority of those interactions were split evenly between technology help (mostly printing) and directional assistance.
When folks don't know where to go, they go to the library!
We've always known that the first few weeks are some of the busiest times at the Library, and we hope these charts help you see that, too.
Author Reading w/ Dr. Subhranil De
Join us as we celebrate the publication of The Time on the Gravel Roads by Dr. Subhranil De. From the book's website:
"Part road trip, part nature hike, part journey of self-discovery, this evocative memoir follows the adventures of Subhranil De as he navigates a six-year quest to find a job that combines his passion for physics with his love of teaching. "

As Seen in the Library Lobby:
Alex, our Interlibrary Loan aficionado, had a great idea to use the whiteboard as a place for locals to recommend venues, events, restaurants, etc, to our new students! Check out all the suggestions!
On the right we see titles folks are currently reading and the titles sitting in the 'to-be-read' pile!
