Library Tech Gadgets on Pinterest

Here's a board we created on Pinterest logo to display some of the technology we have and some we hope to add.
It's a way to scan the items you can check out from the library. For a more detailed list, please see our Technology & Equipment page.  We hope it gets you thinking of all that you can create and complete using the resources at GHL.

Relieve your Finals Stress with some Cool Lemonade and some Furry Companionship



Whether you need a quiet place to study, a room to meet up with friends to work
on a group project, a caffeine boost, or some relaxing downtime, the library has you covered. All this week the library will have coffee, hot tea and lemonade available to help you stay alert during your exams.  And if you need a break, stop by STAR Lounge 1 and play a few games on the Wii.

As a special bonus to help everyone relax, Tuesday, May 7th from 12 - 2, we will be having some of the dogs in from PAWS to spread some cheer.  Why not stop by and say hello to our furry friends?

Good luck on finals!

Library materials added in April

To bring you up to date on what has recently been added to the collection, a new materials list is now available that reflects additions during April. We added 263 books, e-books, DVDs, and other items during that time, thanks to your selections and suggestions. The list is sorted by call number, with items grouped roughly by subject area.  

Of note in this month's new materials list are the 8 e-books we've added in April, for a total of 81 e-books added during 2012-13.

This tag will show you all of the prior lists of new materials.  

Have a suggestion of something to order? Use our online request form, email Jennifer Hicks or one of our other staff members, or drop by the library with your request at any time.  We are wrapping up our ordering for this fiscal year, but if funds do not remain to purchase an item we can hold your request until after July 1 when we receive our new budget. 

We've added 1017 items to the collection so far this year, and I expect we'll end up at around 1200 items once all ordered items are received.

Thanks again for keeping our collection vibrant and your information needs met!
