Campus libraries are the place to be--not only as spaces for serious study, but as interesting social spaces for group work and the occasional party.

Check out the fun when College Library (Helen C. White) hosts its annual house party, Thursday, September 13 (8:00 PM-midnight).

The schedule of events includes carnival games, human foosball, student group performances, miniature-golf and more--with plenty of free snacks on the side.

Enjoy the evening and be sure to look for Steenbock Library on the mini-golf course!

Game On @ Your Library

Save the date! On Saturday, November 12, Steenbock Library will host a "gaming day" from 5:00-9:00 PM.

Each year on National Gaming Day @ Your Library, thousands of libraries across the county celebrate the educational, recreational, and social value of board and video games by hosting game-related events. This year, Steenbock Library will have some classic board games on-hand like Clue and Monopoly plus new favorites, too, such as Apples to Apples and Settlers of Catan. We will also have games for Wii and Xbox!

Bring your friends, stop by, and have fun! (Free snacks and beverages while supplies last).
