The staff of Cole Library and the Center for Teaching and Learning welcome you to a new academic year.  If you are new to campus, stop in to see what we have to offer or click here to browse our Web site.

Treat your child or your inner child this week to some time with The Cat in the Hat, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, or Miss Nelson is Missing. One Cole librarian recently commented that this is a golden age in children’s literature. Take a look at the display on third floor of Cole Library – you may agree. Hopefully you will see a picture book that is an old friend or find a new story that intrigues you. Sector 7 was new to me.  Cloud people? Why not?

Children’s Book Week was first proposed in 1913 with the idea that reading children’s books can change lives. We want to know your favorite picture book, or one of your favorites. Post your favorite on the Cole Library Discussion Board on Facebook or at the display on third floor. The Cole favorites will be announced on the library blog next Tuesday.

If you have been having trouble getting to our databases from off campus since the power outage on Sunday, there’s a good reason. We’re working at correcting the underpinnings. In the meantime, if you are are on campus and are going directly from the library page to databases on the list of Electronic Resources, or to Credo Reference or RefWorks, they should be available.
