You may know that April is National Poetry Month, but did you know that Thursday April 27 is “Poem in Your Pocket” Day? People are encouraged to “celebrate by selecting a poem, carrying it with them, and sharing it with others throughout the day”. I am choosing to share here a poem by Contemporary Canadian Poet Sheniz Janmohamed called”The Road Ghazal”. Pick a poem to share tomorrow – either in person or at #pocketpoem.

Bike Scranton is back! For the 2017 season the library has 8 bikes of different sizes to lend to anyone age 18 or over. Bikes may be borrowed whenever the library is open, and all bikes must be returned before the library closes that same day. There is no charge for borrowing bikes. Stop by the Library Circulation Desk and borrow a bike today!
Over winter break a third reservable group study room was added on the second floor. Room 2C was created by removing several of the older microform reader/printers, and the entrance is on the De Naples side of the building. The room will accommodate 4 students. Just go to:
http://groupstudy.library.scranton.edu/
to reserve any group study room up to one week in advance. Welcome back!
The sound system in the Heritage Room is being upgraded this week, so there could be related noise. We apologize for any inconvenience.
The Weinberg Memorial Library closes at 4:30 pm Fri. Dec 23 and will not be staffed again until 8:00 am Tuesday Jan 3. After-hours access is also suspended for the holiday, with card swipes being activated at 8:00 am on Monday Jan 2. Happy Holidays!
Today’s printing upgrade didn’t take as long as expected, so printing from the library computers is available again.
Printing services are being upgraded in the library on Monday 12/19, so there will be no printing from computers in the library that day. Sorry for any inconvenience.
The water dispenser in the Reilly Learning Commons has been replaced, so there is hot and cold water available 24/7 again.
The study room in the back corner of the library’s 4th floor, which is usually reserved for faculty, is now open for student use. This room is for group use and can not be reserved. Please follow the posted guidelines, and best of luck as you prepare for exams!
Stop by the library today for some cream of tomato!
