Welcome Back!

Greetings!

I would like to welcome back all of the Marywood undergraduate and graduate students for the fall semester and welcome all of the new students to Marywood! I hope your summer was full of fun and relaxation!

To kick off the semester, the library will be holding a "Get to Know your Library" day on Thursday, September 2nd from 10-2. While this service is primarily for undergraduate students, graduate students are more than welcome to partake in the day. There will be cookies and coffee starting at 11 by the front doors, but quantities are limited, so it will be on a first come first serve basis. There will be tents around the library giving out information and other free goodies (including free books!).

Students should take advantage of this time to become acquainted with the library's layout and features, including the information and circulation desk, the ask here desk (where I work), the media center, and the computer labs. Students should also get their library ID number for book checkout (sign-up at the circulation desk) and printer cards (available for a dollar downstairs via an automated machine and usable all over campus).

Please don't hesitate to ask any of the librarians a question if you need help with something.

Once again, welcome back! I hope everyone has a productive and fun semester at Marywood!
