Let it snow!

It's beginning to look a lot like winter around here! As I write this, the windows in the library that overlook the pond resemble a shaken snow globe. The view outside near the New Books area reveals a tree laden with scarlet berries dusted with feathery snow. Students are rushing around in the library completing their final projects. Holiday decorating in the display cases contributes to the festive atmosphere. It's my favorite time of year!

On a less whimsical note, Library staff hosted a visit from Steven Bell of Temple University who spent Monday December 3rd with us. Steven met library staff, college administration, and faculty to listen to their thoughts and concerns about the Stevenson campus library renovation. The next phase of planning will involve student input: we hope to duplicate the University of Rochester methodology, using anthropology techniques to learn how Villa Julie students use the library. It should be fun and informative.
