Roady the Roadrunner has a summer read giveaway, starting today!
Emily Henry's, "People We Meet on Vacation," is a perfect summer read! For ages 16+, this is a friends to lovers adult fiction romance.
We've wrapped up a copy of the book and hidden it somewhere on campus for one lucky person to find and enjoy. Watch until the end to get a hint as to where it will be.
If you know who the College's founding President was, you'll have better luck!
If you find it, tag us! Happy summer reading!

Relaxation Stations are back in the library for some stress relief in preparation for finals.
There are seven stations around the library, each with a puzzle, coloring pages, and a game.
Stop by any of the stations; do one or all of the relaxing activities. We hope it helps you decompress and recharge for finals.
On view in the library foyer is a heartwarming display put together by the Next Up/Guardian Scholars department in connection with National Foster Care Month, bringing awareness to the challenges faced and overcome by these amazing students. Come by and see it for yourself through the month of May.
