A View of the Library during NLW (Pictures)

National Library Week has been a great success so far! Participation in the events has been great, the book sale has been a hit, and the food has been enjoyed by many library patrons! To give our readers an idea of what is going on, I've included a variety of pictures to give you an idea:


These are the delicious pretzels that students were greeted by when they first entered the library on Tuesday. They were made fresh throughout the morning and quite tasty! They were grabbed very fast!



This was Tuesday's Jar of Candy - each day has a new jar and a new winner. tudents can participate by simply guessing the number of pieces to win the whole thing! The last day for this event is today.



This is the scene soon after walking into the library. During the day (the times are at the front desk) a variety of things are offered - from citation help to resume development help.



This is the view from the other side of the photo above. Diversity United made quite the nice photo display, wouldn't you agree?



This is a photo showing some of our new READ Posters on display at the circulation desk. The new posters are in many places around the circulation desk and worth checking out. You might be surprised by who you see featured!


This was the book and media display upstairs for the Bollywood presentation. Bollywood is the nickname given to India's film industry, and is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood. The presentation was given by the Diversity Office.



Art instructor Ted Michalowski (in the black shirt) held a drawing social in front of the live performance.



The live performer, playing an instrument called the "Theremin". The instrument is used widely in movie soundtracks because of its eerie sound. I recommend seeing the Wikipedia article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theremin


This is a fun shot showing lines of books inside the library that are for sale. Aside from this large quantity of books there is also a tent outside the library with boxes of books.


As a closing picture, I thought it appropriate to show a photo of Kelly Erin Ruddy (at the circulation desk). She worked here at the library and passed away in an unfortunate accident this past January. She will always be remembered and missed.
