Over one hundred Eagles sailed across the library during our welcome event. Throughout their hunt, students learned about specific library resources while collecting lots of coins, candy and fun prizes.
The Media Production Studio’s photo booth was a big hit during the scavenger hunt. A digital background of a pirate ship was used to make the theme come alive.
After participants completed their hunt, they spun the wheel for a prize. Some of the prizes included tote bags, stress balls, pencil pouches and more. It was a thrill to see so many students stop by the library to learn about and utilize our services, as well as meet many of our staff members who made this event possible!
November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). During this time, people all over the world set a goal to write 50,000 words of a new novel in 30 days.
Since 1999, NaNoWriMo has given both writers and non-writers the opportunity to unleash their creative minds through a fun and empowering writing challenge.
Throughout November, and in collaboration with the Department of Language & Literature, the library invites you to take up NaNoWriMo at our weekly two-hour write-ins. These write-ins might possibly include writing prompts, writing sprints, raffles and snacks.
This event is a perfect opportunity for any and all students to learn some fun techniques that will aid in your tackling of NaNoWriMo.
Every event will be held at the Data Visualization Wall on the 1st Floor of Library West. Please bring your laptop, notebook, or whatever you need to write! Registering on Eagle Link is encouraged, but not required.
