Popcorn promotion
This week as students started their school year they were greeted in the library lobby and on the “Walk of Wellness” between the Colleges of Pharmacy and Public Health, by library staff handing out free popcorn and bookmarks. The bookmarks contained QR codes that can be scanned by a smartphone or iPad to automatically load the contact information for our library liaisons. Jennifer and Annabelle reached over 230 students and survived the heat over the course of two days on the Walk of Wellness. (photo here: http://tinyurl.com/3fdkkm6 )
Linda, Javad, Nicole, Sandy, Tessie, Mari, Sandy, Gary, Mary R., Amanda, Brooke, Laura, Mikel and Joan either handed out popcorn in front of the library, purchased the popcorn and bags, planned the event or designed the bookmarks among other tasks. We gave away over 500 bags of popcorn and at least as many bookmarks! Thanks to all for making this event such a success.


Front lobby furniture
The College of Medicine is trying to make the lobby area, outside the library, more comfortable and inviting for students here for interviews. They will be removing the green furniture and replacing it with some of the “comfortable” chairs from the 4th floor, along with a few dividers and their attached tall tables. Watch for this transformation sometime in the next month.
