Cardboard sculptures are back in the library! They will be on display in the circulation desk area through March 21.
Each year, students from ARTH123: Fundamentals of Sculpture, taught by Professor Anthony Cervino, display their cardboard sculptures in the library. We are always very excited to host this exhibit in the library, and we are continually impressed by the creativity of our students. Stop in at the library over the next few weeks to see their creations!
Join us to uncover mysteries and puzzles as you and your group of friends transform into a group of amateur vampire hunters who have received a missive asking for your assistance at Castle Waidner-Spahr.

Who knows what will happen if the Count finds you when he wakes...
Our escape room activity is meant for groups of 4-8 people. Space is limited and you must sign up in advance.

You are invited to join members of the Academic Affairs team for a conversation (with snacks) in the Biblio Cafe on Thursday, February 6 from 5pm-6:30pm.
We will talk about how you’re doing – how you’re feeling – and how you can support each other, as you grapple with the uncertainty many of you are facing. We will focus on ways to live with uncertainty as an academic practice, develop communities of solidarity, and think critically about what it means to be a student right now.
Join library staff and friends for our annual potluck on Thursday, January 9th from 11:30am to 1:30pm in the Biblio Cafe. Come when you can and leave when you must.
For the past few years, library staff and the campus community have come together each winter break to connect with folks on campus and provide tasty food for students who are staying on campus while the dining halls are closed. We also provide rock painting supplies for everyone to add some cheer to our community rock garden.
We hope to see you at the library for good food and great fellowship!
