Observations of the Lone Ask Here GA
As a worker at the Ask Here Desk since September, I have gotten used to the flow of people in the Library on an almost daily basis, and at different times of the day to boot. While I was not here on Monday, I can certainly say that Tuesday was different from the typical. The usual Tuesday morning here at the Library is quiet - very quiet. Low foot traffic, very few questions, and a sense that those who are here are still a bit groggy.
This Tuesday, however, the Library was lively. It had an energy that isn't seen until finals. People walking around participating in raffles, the tours, and listening to the eerie theremin. It didn't hurt that delicious pretzels with all the needed condiments were placed right at the front door.
Yes, it was a sight to see indeed. Participation was fantastic and students were full of energy. Oh, and the Ask Here Desk? It was flooded with questions (at least compared to the usual Tuesday). Even during the night shift I worked the energy continued. It was good to see students here in such numbers enjoying the events.

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.

National Library Week - READ Posters
Every year during NWL the Marywood Library unveils new READ Posters. These posters feature people from all around our campus - students, faculty, and staff alike - enjoying some of the many books we have to offer. Last year, we featured staff from Security and Dining Services, the President of the University, Sister Anne Munley, IHM, Ph.D., and students from a variety of different majors. The posters are displayed in the Marywood Library in different areas.
This year's READ Posters will be unveiled next week - but if you keep an eye on this blog, you can get a sneak peek at some of them before they are unveiled! As next week progresses, the rest of the posters will be added to the blog.
Just remember that any book lover can be featured on a READ Poster. The READ Posters display only a small portion of the people who use and enjoy the Library here at Marywood. The posters are meant to show you that no matter what you're here for at Marywood you can always enjoy a good book from the Marywood Library!
