Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin’ dirty and gritty
Been down, isn’t it a pity
Doesn’t seem to be a shadow in the city…

That’s what I think of when I think about summer. Don’t you?  NO?

Okay, then think about this:

The library’s summer hours are vastly different from the rest of the academic year. We are closed on weekends! Yes, you read that right. Beginning May 13, the first day of summer classes our hours are:

Monday-Thursday   7:30 AM – 9:00 PM

Friday                    7:30 AM – 4:30 PM

CLOSED SATURDAY AND SUNDAY

Work hard during the week, but enjoy your summer weekends.

That’s what we try to do, too!

P.S. You have to click on the link to the Lovin’ Spoonful and watch what happens to your mouse pointer!  Isn’t that hilarious?

Tuesday, April 27, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
Thursday, April 29, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

These talented students have worked all semester to learn how to improve their writing talents and find their voices, and they will share with us the poetry, short stories, and essays that are the results of their hard but worthwhile work.  This is your opportunity to hear their voices and appreciate all that goes into creating a memorable work of literature, and you may be among the first to witness an award-winning author-in-the-making!

The readings will take place in the presentation area–the space at the back of the library next to the parking lot and Riverpark. Light refreshments will be served.

We know how much you depend on us to be there when you need a little more quiet study time or computer access. 

So, during exam week, May 1-May 6 our hours will be:

Saturday, May 1—–10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Sunday, May 2——-2:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Mon-Wed, May 3-5–7:30 AM – 10:00 PM
Thurs, May 6———7:30 AM – 9:00 PM
Fri-Sun, May 7-9——–CLOSED

Study Hard
Get Plenty of Rest
Say “Hey” to your mama an’em!

• a) They wanted to try out a new restaurant near the mall.
• b) They had money that was burning holes in their pockets.
• c) They love to spend other people’s money.
• d) They were invited by Vicky Leather, Dean of Library Services, to choose books and DVDs that they thought would enhance learning and be entertaining.

If you chose “D,” you’re right!  And those items are currently on display in the library and ready to be checked-out.  So bring your library cards, or student IDs and take some home.  You will be pleasantly surprised at the variety of topics, the quality of the content, and the general fun-ness of the collection.
