New Materials for August

Trying to figure out something to do during these hot summer days? Stay in and enjoy the air conditioning while watching a classic (cartoon): Looney tunes platinum collection. Breeze through some light reading with one of our newly added graphic novels, Batman or Iron Fist. Anyone with an appreciation for art or Disney should check out Eyvind Earle’s Awaking Beauty, then walk over to the Hilbert Museum where eight of his paintings–recently donated by the  Earle Family Trust–are currently on display as part of the Magical Visions exhibition.

The new materials display is located behind the reference desk and everything is available for check-out.
