Dean's Update: 'Tis the Season 

As I write this, I notice how quickly my calendar for December has been filled - with festive celebrations and with meetings to wrap up details before year-end. In this issue of In Circulation, you can learn a little more about these end of year trends as the Libraries plans for a flurry of activity.

Beginning tomorrow, we kick off the season with our 24/7 schedule- the week when W. W. Hagerty Library remains open around the clock in support of students busily preparing for exams and finishing papers due this term. We often find pillows, candy wrappers, and empty soda bottles and coffee cups as early morning evidence that the spaces are used if not more heavily, at least with more attempts to stay alert to the end of exams.


Upcoming Exhibit to Highlight the Role of Young People in the Civil Rights Movement

Race relations in the United States is on the minds of many this month, as protests and activities stemming from the events in Ferguson, Mo, continue across much of the nation. Young people - high school and college students - can play a powerful role in demanding and enacting change and is the topic of a upcoming exhibit coming to W. W. Hagerty Library in January 2015.
