LRC Expands Its Outreach
Alumni attending the 2016 Homecoming (June 16-18) will be able to participate in some special activities in the library during the event. Alumni can also check with the LRC staff on how to access research services and request books via interlibrary loan. Current NUHS Alumni Association members are also eligible for one research assistance request and one photocopied article free of charge during each fiscal year.
Not only are students being enticed into Learning Resource Center with upgraded digital resources, but the LRC staff is also inviting them, along with the rest of the NUHS community to discover that the library is more than just a place to study.
In recent months, the LRC has hosted many new events, such as coffee breaks and lunch & learn programs designed to introduce the new director, brand-new features, and special programs at the library. They've also hosted meetings for different interest groups (i.e. Book Club, Yarn Club) and created fun new events such as π (Pie) Day where they invited participants to enjoy a math quiz along with a mini baked pie treat.
