Muslim Journeys materials

Hi all,

In January we were one of 843 libraries awarded the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys materials. This collection includes 25 books and 4 dvds. All materials are currently on display in the lobby (below the tv monitor). If patrons would like to check out any of these materials, they are currently on 3 day Reserve. (Reserve band is on the back of the materials.) So, please check them out as normal for a 3 day Reserve. When they are returned, please try to be sure they get placed back on the display rather than on the Reserve shelf.

If you'd like to learn more about this collection, you can do so at http://bridgingcultures.neh.gov/muslimjourneys/. We will be planning some programming based on these materials to be held in the fall.

Let me know if you have questions/suggestions!

New Schedules are up!

New Schedules!

The new schedules are up! You can find them on your personal schedule page. Let me know if you have any conflicts as soon as possible. Note that they begin Monday, March 25th.

We will be closed March 29th at noon until April 1st, so no one will be working those days.  Which also means to see your regular schedule you should move the calendar to the week of April 1st.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Finals Week

Hello!

The finals week schedules are on your calendars.  Make sure you know them and they are correct.
