✨ Monday Motivation!

"Self reliance is a mindset where you first look inward to find answers and then go outward to get help, seek support, or build on your ideas. It's about up-skilling yourself and being resourceful. And they go hand in hand -- to be resourceful you must have skills and be valuable to others. It ultimately means you need to dig deep to use your personal strengths to create the life you want. When you're self-reliant, you don't wait for someone else to save or prepare you. It's motivating and empowering because you control your destiny. And once you know what you're capable of, you think bigger and bolder."
— Maha Abouelenein, 7 RULES OF SELF RELIANCE.

Are you a self-reliant person or do you want to be? If you'd like to learn more, this book is available in the Woodward Library's Popular Book Collection on the main floor: https://apsu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01APSU_INST/cv91ak/alma991007393094408071.

FAQ Friday!

Q: What is this room in the basement of the library and why does it have blue lighting?

A: This is the FSL (Full Spectrum Learning) Study Room (Room 118) and Sensory Room (Room 118-A) located on the first floor (basement) of the Woodward Library. The space is designed to help autistic and neurodivergent students relax and find calm amid the stresses of college life. It features activities, objects, and furnishings to meet students' diverse needs, including fidget toys, bean bag chairs, dimmed lighting, a rocking chair, yoga mats, earplugs, and a white noise machine.

Mid-Week Muse:

Did you know that at 12:01 p.m. on September 16, 1920, there was a bombing on Wall Street? Approximately 100 pounds of dynamite was driven to the front of the J.P. Morgan building in a horse-drawn carriage and detonated, killing 38 people. The driver got away and the F.B.I. never discovered who was responsible.

If you’d like to learn more about this tragedy and how it started the debate about government prevention of such terrorist acts, the Woodward Library has access to an online film called, “American Experience: the Bombing of Wall Street”, by PBS. You can find it on Kanopy, an online database with over 10,000 films. It’s FREE!

Two for Tuesday!

This week’s Two for Tuesday challenge features two page-turning stories that will entertain you while making you wonder about your own motivations and what you would do in similar circumstances. If you like mysteries with gritty realism and/or a few laughs woven through the story, you might check these books out.

🔪 "Razorblade Tears" by S.A. Cosby is a story about two ex-cons and their murdered sons. One is white, one is black, but both fathers are grieving and they team up to find out and get revenge on who killed their boys. This book has been reviewed as a fast-paced, hard-to-put-down and emotionally charged read.

💀 "You'd Look Better As A Ghost" by Joanna Wallace is written from the point of view of Claire, an unexpected serial killer who carefully draws the reader into her darkly fascinating world. This is comedic horror at its best, and you won't want to stop reading until you find out what happens next.

These stories are about as different from one another as can be, but they will each leave you wanting more. Both titles are located in the Woodward Library's Popular Collection on the main floor of the library.

If you've read one (or both!) of these books, please let us know what you thought in the comments below 👇:

✨ Monday Motivation!

"Although posting glamour shots of our lives may lead us to feel better, that very same act can cause the users who view our posts to feel worse. That's because at the same time we are motivated to present ourselves positively, we are also driven to compare ourselves with others. And social media switches the social-comparison hardware in our brain into overdrive...the more time people spent passively scrolling through Facebook, peering in on the lives of others, the more envy they experienced and the worse they subsequently felt."
— Ethan Kross, CHATTER

Have you ever considered what your social media habits might be doing to you as a person? You may find this book on the New Book Shelf on the main floor of the Woodward Library: https://apsu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01APSU_INST/cv91ak/alma991007405760708071.

"How The World Eats" by Julian Baggini

Aside from learning what other cultures eat and how they grow, cultivate, or harvest their food, it’s interesting to learn how the entire world’s food supply is intricately connected via a vast “food web." From the hunter-gatherer civilizations all the way up to the modern world, our global food systems have changed, our diets have evolved (and devolved) and there are more GMOs, chemicals and choices in what we eat than ever before. If it’s true that “You are what you eat," then what are modern people?

If you’re interested, you can find it on the New Book Shelf on the main floor of the Woodward Library: https://apsu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01APSU_INST/1pjggnv/alma991007449742008071.
