You're Reading What?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the library we have some great posters up from faculty and staff holding their favorite books. However, we did have to draw a line somewhere so here we present to you the REJECTED Read posters which didn't make it to the walls. Enjoy. (click on an image for a better view)

Need a primary source for that research project?

The Library of Congress has a section devoted to primary sources in a variety of subject areas including, Japanese American Internment During World War II, Jim Crow in America, Women's Suffrage, Dust Bowl Migration, Found Poetry and even Baseball: Across A Divided Society plus many more and new sets added regularly. So if you need speeches, correspondence, campaign materials, photographs, federal government reports, cartoons, and maps - to name just a few - look into Primary Source Sets and be certain that the information you find is accurate and reliable.

Classics with a twist

 
We just received two titles Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Henry V by William Shakespeare but in graphic novel form. So if you like graphic novels, the classics or both come and take a look at these two books now on the New Books display on the second floor. You just might want to take them home.
