Reception: Wednesday September 30th, 4 to 6 p.m
Hagerty Library, lower level
In conjunction with ALA’s Banned Books Week September 26 – October 3rd. This exhibition, curated by Laurie Rizzo, displays written works that have been cause for conflict at one point in time or another. All the books in the exhibition are from Drexel’s Rare Books Collection. Materials chronicle 1700 years of banning, banishment and burnings over ideas so controversial that church and state alike sought to prevent their spread.
Anticipating a weekend of round-the-clock cramming? You need a comfy spot, and Hagerty Library’s on your schedule. Starting Thursday, August 27th, we’re moving to 24/7 operation, and if you’re a Drexel student,* you’re invited. We’ve got the same great resources we always do: comfy furniture, computers, laptops, Ethernet cables, calculators, ear plugs, text books, reference help, and leisure books and DVD for zoning out. And for the next week and a half they’ll be at your disposal all day and all night.
Need something? Ask at the reference desk, and if reference is closed for the day, the good folks at Circulation are sure to know what’s up.
*Sorry, during this period we’re closed to those who are not members of the Drexel community. Please come back after finals!
Starting Monday August 24th, part of Hagerty’s 2nd floor stacks will be closed for renovation. Need a book between HG185 and JN1? Let someone at the Circulation Desk know and they’ll get it for you.
Not sure what your book’s call number is? Look it up in the catalog. You’ll see a note that says: “Area under renovation–request this item at the Circulation Desk.” If you don’t see this note, or if your book is outside the range between C and JX, feel free to browse yourself.
