Did you know it's Constitution Day?

With Spooky Season right around the corner, the Clark Family Library has gathered a display of materials on dead and zombie amendments to celebrate.

What are dead and zombie amendments, you say?They are amendments to the Constitution that were either killed before they could be ratified or killed and then brought back to be ratified later.

The Display will be at the front of the library near the elevator. You are encouraged to interact! Please stop by and check it out.

What can we say? We are just a bunch of chic people in a very chic field. You too can be chic when you use the library.

Come in and check out new equipment like graphing calculators, microphones, and textbooks all generously made possible by the philanthropic support of Dick ’68 and Angie Clark and their family.

Stop by the carts at User Services and "Read and Relax" to give us your fun ideas for displays and what you'd like to see in the library.

Check back for events like study-a-thon, therapy dogs, and Feel Good Friday. Need a break now? Take some time to decompress by doing the puzzle by User Services.

Interested in history? Head downstairs to the Archive and check out what our archivist has been up to this summer or study under the beautiful lamps in the Walker Room.

Research, finding course materials, or citing sources? We can help with that! Come find a librarian, pop onto library chat, or book an appointment for help. We are here for you!
