Over the summer, the library purchased a set of “clickers” to use in library instruction sessions. These clickers allow students to interact with the librarian and instructor by selecting an answer to a posed question. It’s kind of like voting. The librarian will ask a question, and students anonymously submit their answer by clicking A, B, C, or D. Then a graph appears, showing the distribution of answers. This new system will be used in some of the LSFY courses throughout the year. It’s a fun way to participate in library instruction — and to see how your classmates answered a question!
The library celebrated Kathy Jackson’s 31 years of service as Acquisitions Specialist with a retirement party on Monday, Aug. 31. Kathy worked “behind the scenes” to order books and videos for the library. Library Director Carla Tracy estimates that Kathy ordered over 130,000 materials during her years in the library! Kathy shared that when she first started her job, it took about 6 – 10 weeks for books to arrive. Now, fortunately, they come much faster than that!
The library wishes Kathy all the best as she moves into retirement. Thanks, Kathy, for all your hard work over the past three decades!
Tredway Library wants to welcome everyone to the start of the Fall Term!
As you’ll soon find out, there is a lot going on in the library: instruction sessions, displays, events, studying, celebrations, etc. Here are a few highlights of things to watch for:

A student worker tries desperately to rescue our largest crane from the jaws of the library's resident dinosaur.
I am delighted to announce that we have been able to hang 823 cranes in the Circulation department. The majority are hanging from the ceiling, but there are a few (like the enormous crane pictured) which are simply on display. Please make it a point to stop by and help us reach our goal of 1000 before the end of term!

382 paper cranes float above the Circulation desk. Can we make it to 1000 by the end of Spring term?
Our crane project has truly taken flight, as nearly 400 cranes now hover over the Circulation department.
Our Circulation students have been very busy making additional paper cranes. One of our student workers has even begun making whole families of cranes from our recycled book jackets.
However, we still have a long way to go to reach our goal of 1000. If you would like to help us out, please stop by the 2nd floor Circulation desk for paper and instructions.
