DISPLAY--Tent City

In conjunction with Champlain College's Tent City, the Library has on display a collection of books on homelessness. These books may be checked out. So, the next time you are in the Library, stop by the Circulation Desk and have a look at this new display. Or, view the display virtually through flickr.

DISPLAY:November is Native American Indian Heritage Month

All month long there will be books on display in the Miller Information Commons main foyer display case in recognition of Native American Indian Heritage Month.

DISPLAY: Michael Crichton

Author Michael Crichton died on Election Day of 2008. His books have sold over 150 million copies worldwide. A number of them have been made into films such as Jurassic Park and Congo. He is also the creator of the hit TV series ER. Feel free to check out the display in the library, and one or more of his books.

DISPLAY: Studs Terkel

The author and oral historian Studs Terkel died this Halloween 2008. His famous self chosen epitaph was "curiosity did not ckill this cat." May we all be so curious...

DISPLAY: Remembering Tony Hillerman

Stop by the library and check out the display of Tony Hillerman's mysteries set in the Navajo nation. Those of us who remember the antics of Joe Leaphorn and Jim Chee will sorely miss the mystical world that Hillerman introduced us to and about which he taught us so much. You can read Hillerman's obituary in the New York Times.
