Our newest reference provider

We were delighted to have a new reference provider join us today!  Wythe, son of Special Collections Librarian Jamie Nelson, took his very first turn at the reference desk today, sharing duties with Margi Rogal.

 

Reference assistance has never been more adorable!

It’s A Wrap!

Are you stuck in the holiday rush and need to get wrapped? Are you all boxed up? Maybe you are thinking, “don’t box me in” and you’d prefer to use a gift bag?

If you are looking for a special way to wrap a holiday gift, or are just looking to  make a special gift, come to Tredway Library to make your own “book” box or bag!

 We’ll teach you how to make the boxes and bags, using book covers as the foundation. They are a decorative way to wrap your gifts — and you are recycling, too!

 Tues, Dec. 11 from 1-3 pm and 7-9 pm
Mon, Dec. 17 from 1-3 pm and 7-9 pm
Meet at the table near the Reference desk on 2nd floor

Naked Came The Librarian: Chapter Three

 

Naked Came The Librarian: Chapter Three

By Jamie Nelson, Special Collections Librarian

 

The clock radio reads 6:47 when static and voices burst forth.  I can hear Renee Montagne talking and I’m quite happy to listen to the news for a few minutes.  My alarm is always set for prime numbers. There’s something adventurous about avoiding the conventional 6:45 or 6:50 wake up call.
