Upcoming Library Hours

Celebrate your freedom to read by joining us for READ OUT! in the Hultquist Library Pit, Friday, September 30 at noon!

 
What do Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Color Purple by Alice Walker, Fallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers, and The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big, Round Things, by Carolyn Mackler have in common? All have been banned or challenged somewhere in the U.S. at some point in the past six years, but not in the JCC Libraries!  

Libraries aren’t always quiet and serious places for study.  Sometimes we break the rules and bring on the noise and excitement.  On March 9, 2011 we’ll be holding our first Poetry Slam in the Hultquist Library Pit. 

Join the J-Dub Book Club today (Tuesday, March 2) at 12 noon in the Hultquist Library Pit to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday!

Members of the book club will be reading from their favorite Dr. Seuss books.  If you have a favorite, feel free to pick up a book and join in - or just sit back and listen!

The new J-Dub Book Club is meeting in the Hultquist Library Conference Room (HULT117) on Tuesdays at noon.  The club is open to all interested students, faculty, and staff.

The group's next selection is The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, March 2, 12:00 p.m.!

The Hultquist Library has recently added a collection of loanable sound recordings on compact disc to its collection.  The bulk of this collection was donated in memory of Jim Miller and comes from his personal collection.  Included in the collection are recordings of many well known works of classical music including works by Mozart, Debussy, Beethoven, Copland, Vivaldi, Bach, Strauss, Grieg, Ravel, and many others.
