Turning the Page

The clicking of keys and faint whispers of students can be heard over the ambient silence of the Library / Learning Crossroads. Students gather around tables for group and individual study sessions while librarians assist with book searches at the reference desk. Many people are aware of these basic services the LLC offers but these days it also offers much more.

To keep up with the times, the staff has implemented modern changes, including dual screens at the reference desk where students and librarians can simultaneously view content. The staff also created a social media campaign to further engage students. There are several upcoming events aimed at drawing in staff and students, including a “War Comes Home” exhibit Oct. 25 ‒ Dec. 5., which will showcase the lives of returning veterans and will feature guest speakers, a flag ceremony, a barbeque fundraiser, and an opportunity for students to ask questions and engage with veterans. The LLC offers extended hours this semester from 7:30 a.m. - 8:30 p.m., and, for the first time, there are Saturday library hours, from 11 a.m. ‒ 4 p.m.
