Library in the News!

It's our week to be in the news! The Champlain College Library was featured in a story on NECN for receiving the ACRL Excellence in College Libraries award.  For additional coverage of the award, including the Burlington Free Press and WPTZ as well as photos from the reception, see the library website.

Join us Monday, April 16th from 4-5:15pm on the first floor of the library for this party of excellence.

After all, there "ain't no party like a library party."
