Library Display

Five library assistants who are seniors have been asked to choose a favorite library book to be plated in their honor. Their choices will be on display in the main lobby, along with a selection of First Year Common Reads chosen by other colleges.

Please contact Elizabeth Bagley, Director of Library Services, for additional information.
