Welcome to the MIAD Library

The MIAD Library is situated on MIAD's River Level with large windows overlooking the Riverwalk and the Milwaukee River. We are located on the West end of the building, the opposite direction of the Cafe. The Library receives plenty of natural light during the day, making it an ideal space to study, create, and hang out. In addition to many shelves of books, DVDs, and periodicals, we provide tables for large and small group gatherings, individual study carrels, and comfy beanbag chairs and swivel chairs.

What to Watch This Week!

Sam's Watch-of-the-Week:

In 2014, the world’s second largest coal consumer made a bold promise: to increase its solar capacity from three gigawatts to 100 gigawatts in just eight years. Many people called it overly ambitious, but energy expert Kanika Chawla saw the opportunity of a lifetime. She tells the story of how India became a solar powerhouse, turning an expensive dream into an economic reality — and creating a model for other countries to follow suit.

Tobias' Watch-of-the-Week:

How to Recapture the Joy of the Early Internet

Before algorithms ruled our feeds, the internet was a mess — glitchy, chaotic and full of unexpected magic. Internet culture writer Michael Sun reflects on the wild digital world of the 2000s — and makes a funny, wry case for why we need to reclaim its spontaneity, weirdness and genuine connection. From niche Facebook groups to loading music onto your iPod, it might be time to borrow from the past.

Sam's Podcast Pick:

Bird Habitat: Rocky Shores and Sandy Beaches - Podcast EpisodeThe Science of Birds - Explore how these dynamic habitats shape the lives of coastal birds, from their feeding and nesting behaviors to the conservation challenges they face

This podcast talks about birds. They usually talk about different types of birds, their habitats, and bird watching.

I think birds are really awesome, and I feel like people don't appreciate them as much as they should. I think that listening to this podcast while working on projects would be a good way to get more knowledge about birds.

Tobias' Podcast Pick:

Distractible Podcast

It is about 3 childhood friends talking about certain topics, but with a twist. One of them is the 'Host', and the other two are 'competing' to be host next episode. The points are given out by the Host, but the perimeters behind why they get points isn't specific and completely up to the Host. Meaning the Host has complete control over who gets points and why, but it usually ends chaotically.

They are incredibly funny and do a good job of building off of each other. I like listening to their content when I'm doing homework because I don't have to pay attention too hard.
