In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we offer two displays of adult and children's and young adult items by Hispanic authors and featuring Hispanic characters. Prepared by David Quinn, the display located in front of the IT Helpdesk offers a selection of books for adults. On the lower level, Kat Gatcomb prepared a display of books for children and young adults.

Feel free to borrow from the displays any titles you’d like to read.

This summer we added a new primary source database of historical newspapers from Africa. Part of the World Newspaper Archive by Readex, the database includes more than 40 nineteenth and early twentieth-century African newspapers from Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. 

Access is available to current members of the college community through the library's Database A-Z webpage. 

Summer is around the corner, so for Frazzle Free Finals we're off to camp! Whether you're just stopping by for a snack or camping out to study, Geisel Library has a bucketful of summer camp activities and treats to help lighten your finals week load.
