US Government Document of the Month for May!

Available to all patrons are government documents on the Budget of the United States.  These make interesting reading in light of the current crisis in Congress and the threat of a government shut-down! Please see the Government Documents display on the First Floor for several bound volumes and directions to online resources.

Food For Fines - May 1-20th

Have you received a fine notice for an item returned late within the last 30 days?  You have an opportunity to clear up to $10 in fines between now and May 20th.  Just bring in up to 5 canned good items (each can is worth $2) and watch your fine disappear! Plus you'll know your donation is going to feed hungry families in our community!  A win-win, really!

Emergency Research, May 2-6th

Once again during the crunch time leading up to finals, Blackwell research librarians will be available throughout campus to answer your research questions.  Stop by and see us May 2-6th from 2-4 PM in Guerrieri, the TETC food court and the Henson food court to ask us any last minute questions about finding or evaluating your sources or about citation!

National Library Week @ Blackwell Library!

We have two opportunities for you to support the library during National Library Week, April 10-16th.

First, visit our Spring Book Sale where great fiction reads are only 50 cents!  You can start your summer reading early or pick up some books to read on the beach when it gets a little bit warmer!

Second, "like" Blackwell Library on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blackwelllibrary.  Then "like" the National Library Week Status so you can be entered for a chance to win a gift card to Cool Beans!

It's also a great time to tell your favorite librarians and library staff how much you appreciate them.  Thanks for supporting Blackwell Library!
