Booth Library will celebrate National Library Week April 12-18 by sponsoring several activities.
On April 16, the library will host the fifth annual Edible Book Festival. Items will be on display for public viewing from 4 to 6 p.m. Public voting will take place from 4 to 5:30 p.m., with the winners announced shortly after. An “edible book” is something that looks like a book or is book-themed and is made out of food. The edible artwork will not be eaten; however, refreshments will be served. Prizes will be awarded.
The annual book sale was held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 15 outside the south entrance of Booth Library in the Alumni Quad (weather permitting). Thank you to all of our book sale patrons! The proceeds from the sale are used to enhance library programs and services.
At 4:30 p.m. April 15 the winners of the 2015 Awards for Excellence in Student Research and Creativity were announced during a reception hosted by the Library Advisory Board. The awards program promotes and recognizes excellence in student research and encourages students to utilize the wealth of information available at Booth Library to enhance their studies. Congratulations to this year’s winners: Helen Plevka for her paper, “Discordant Desire: Morley’s Polyphony in Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night'”; Anita Ihuwan for her paper, “Knowledge and Attitudes of College Students Concerning HIV/AIDS”; and Nusrat Farah for her paper, “Impact of Household and Demographic Characteristics on Poverty in Bangladesh: A Logistic Regression Analysis.”
