Wake The Library Video Station

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.

Wake the Library Fall 2010

Ammons Poetry

This second A.R. Ammons exhibit only contains his poetry. The words speak volumes about his life and concerns. Ammons’ poetry is very accessible and so for this exhibit-which is in the room where 20 of his paintings now live-I decided to let Archie’s words do the talking. Continue reading “Ammons Poetry”
