In the Spotlight

In 2007, the Haverford libraries started a mural program. The initiative is designed to enhance the appearance of our libraries, to provide a more welcoming atmosphere, and to highlight the arts at Haverford. The first mural, a colorful landscape depicting the seasons on our campus, is now complete and installed on the third tier of Magill Library, just around the corner from the elevator. This project was overseen by visiting faculty Elizabeth Whalley and Owen Schuh. Many students worked on the project, from introductory level students to art majors.

A trial new Tri-Co video loan rule for students: They will circulate for 7 days with 1 renewal of 3 days and there will be an increase in the limit to 5 at a time.

The Fair was held Sept. 3 for entering students. Campus groups, club members, and librarians were all on hand to meet them and give out information. Students needed to explore the far reaches of the Library to get raffle tickets. Michael Riccio was the winner of the iTouch raffle.

The Library invites faculty, students, and members of the Tri-Co community to a series of conversations designed to highlight the work of Haverford faculty in the production of scholarly books.

The series will launch with a presentation by Dr. Ashok Gangadean, Professor of Philosophy on November 18, 2009 at 4:15pm in the Philips Wing of the Magill Library.
