There have been several recurring suggestions for the library of late - two of which are “more bean bag chairs” and “more group study rooms, please”. Well, we couldn’t agree more.
As an example of making lemonade [reconstruction] when presented with lemons [water damage], we have turned previous offices on the second floor into three new group spaces; [...]

As we have entered into a another academic year with new services and resources, a revamped look to the first two floors, an emphasis on marketing and publicizing, and making the very best use of funds, the thought occurred to me that while I think the library is indispensable nevertheless there may be some who [...]

In a recent blog I wrote about revisiting the library’s web site as it was ten years ago. On that version I came across a document that I had never seen. It is a short history of the library at Hanover College written by (then) archives librarian Dennis Kovener. Before I mention more about this document [...]

Or, for that matter, your older sibling’s library. In the midst of doing this, that, and the other I had this epiphany (I think it is a residual effect from discussion at a recent librarians’ meeting) of just how much the Duggan Library’s resources have changed and how these are provided. Now, let there be [...]

While you were away enjoying (hopefully) your winter break week the library continued its transformation to a brighter, more welcoming, study space. When you come into the library proper take a moment to look around. Does anything look different to you?
Here’s a hint: something is missing.
The large chandelier has been removed and new column/accent lighting has been [...]

After days of slogging through the snow and ice it is easy to lose sight of just how pretty it can be. Back in November, I shared a picture I took with my (then) new RCA Small Wonder videocam of the library in an early morning fog. Today, I share a shot of [...]

Yes, there really is a Santa Claus
…as evidenced by the fact the Duggan Library will be getting new carpet and paint for the first two floors.

Thought folks might enjoy this shot of the library I took this morning as I walked to work. The fog, light, and fall leaves made for a glorious photo opportunity.
I happened to have my new RCA Small Wonder (hi-def digital video camera that also takes 5 megapixel still images). Still learning but it is an affordable toy [...]

You may do a double-take when you enter the library’s lobby because the new furniture finally arrived and was installed today. This process all stems from an intranet survey done during last winter term. Students wanted a warmer space with new furniture and we listened. Throw in a few plants and some personalized ALA-style READ [...]
