Check out ZSR’s newest addition to Wake The Library — the Video Station, located near the Circulation desk. Think of the Video Station as a video graffiti wall.

Susan, Travis and I served up (messy) sub sandwiches to (mostly) grateful students at midnight and watched two (very polite) students put up hammocks on the third floor who thanked us for letting them do it. Right after a beautiful Love Feast, it was a lovely way to... Continue reading “Wake the Library Fall 2010” ›

I assembled a group of books from the ZSR Library collection about service and volunteering for different causes. There are a number of WFU News Service pieces about WFU students performing service-so I thought this exhibit would be timely. I printed two accounts of current students and their service projects and placed the accounts in... Continue reading “Volunteering at Wake Forest” ›
