#SHU_Libraries Bigger and Better for 2020!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Welcome back! There are many changes for Walsh Library patrons to improve your experience.<\/p>\n

New Furniture in the Information Commons (IC) and Silent Study Room<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Over the break we rearranged and added new furniture to the IC and Silent Study room. There are smaller whiteboard tables for group work in the IC and smaller groupings of soft seating. We also created reading and group areas between the reference and curriculum collection. We added more tables to the Silent Study, large and small, in case you like to spread out and silently study! Take a look:<\/p>\n

Student Selections<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve added a new display area for student selections, between the reference and curriculum collection. It currently features poetry highlights from our collection. These selections are based on a theme and will change monthly, so keep checking back. Patrons are able to check out books that are on display. Take a look:<\/p>\n
