Hi, everyone,
As promised, here is the info on the library open houses and tours that will be held during and shortly after New Student Orientation / Welcome Week. Remember that we really need all hands on deck for the Main Library open house on Monday, August 29 from 4-7pm. New students really appreciate meeting library staff and fellow students, so please be flexible with your regular work schedule so that you can be available at that time and encourage your student assistants to participate.
Please let me know if you and/or your students will help out so we can be in touch with updates and ensure we have an accurate headcount for the pizza (thank you, Valerie!).
More to come … watch this space!
