The Weinberg Memorial Library held its first annual Library Research Prize Reception this afternoon to honor the winner of the 2011 Library Research Prize. The prize was given to the student who demonstrated exemplary research skills and use of library resources. Rosemary Shaver was the winning applicant with her essay describing her research for her paper entitled Pennsylvania’s First Civil Rights Movement: 1639-1900. The library also presented certificates to three honorable mentions: Bill Woody, Ben Redan, and Courtney Fluehr. We are very proud of all of the essays that were submitted and look forward to next year’s Library Research Prize. Please visit our Flickr page to view all of the photos from today’s reception.

The Lollipops are Out!
We’ve all been studying very hard and doing a lot of work as the semester wraps up. Late night hours and lack of sleep can be very stressful, so why not enjoy a nice lollipop as you do your work? Our trusty librarian friends have supplied the students with lollipops at the reference desk for finals week. As you study all week, feel free to grab one!
Also, note the bookmarks advertising the library’s first annual Library Research Prize–a new program where you could win $500 for the research you are already doing for your classes. Click on the link for details on how to enter.
And remember, we’re open until 2 am tonight, tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday this week. Happy studying!
