The following poster graphics are on display on the main floor of the Library to promote print book and eBook suggestions. We hope you will check them out with your StagCard or use our library catalog to access our eBooks.

Due to COVID-19 library policies regarding handling and quarantining physical items after use, we will not be presenting our usual monthly physical book and resource displays. Instead, we will create graphics, like the ones below, to share our collections curated around various themes.

Thanks for playing out first ever scavenger hunt! It was created by librarians and the University archivist for students to play during Move in Weekend. First-year students were encouraged to play to learn about campus buildings and some University facts and history too. Teams were entered into a raffle and did not need to get all answers correct to win. Scroll down to see the answers and winners.

First-year students, Reese and Kaitlyn, of team "Swag Stags" are the winners! We will notify you when your prizes are ready for pickup!
