Innovation Lab Workshops – Cultural Credit Available!

Announcements,

Sign up for one of our Innovation Lab Workshops, where you can learn about how all the exciting tech in the Innovation Lab applies to your life and studies! Learn about 3D printing, 3D scanning, VR, and much more – plus, you can get Cultural Credit!

Spots are limited, so be sure to sign up early via LibCal. Click here to sign up!

UPDATE 3/16/20: In order to comply with social distancing guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19, this event has been cancelled for the rest of the semester.

(Note: only one cultural credit per student, so don’t sign up for more than one time. They’re all the same event.)

Join the duPont-Ball SF Book Club for Cultural Credit and a Free Book!

Announcements

This semester’s Speculative Fiction Book Club book will be Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell!

The book club meeting will be held in the library on Wednesday, February 26th at 6:30 PM, so please do not sign up if you will not be available to attend this event. The meeting will feature discussion, food, and cultural credit.

We have fifteen copies of the book to give out to the first fifteen applicants. All you have to do is email [email protected] with the subject line “Book Club” to sign up! You will then receive instructions on how to retrieve your book.

Cloud Atlas is a nesting-doll novel that blends adventure, romance, mystery, sci-fi and more in an intertwining epic that bounces from the South Pacific in 1849 to prewar Belgium to 70s California to present-day London to a futuristic South Korea to a post-apocalyptic Hawai’i… and then all the way back again, revealing along the way “how disparate people connect, how their fates intertwine, and how their souls drift across time like clouds across the sky”.

Vote on the Spring SF Book Club selection!

Announcements,

This semester, the library will be running two book clubs – the Speculative Fiction Book Club meeting in late February, and the YA Book Club meeting in April. Now is your chance to vote on which book the SF club will read!

“Speculative Fiction” is a catch-all term referring to fiction that contains elements that do not or could not exist in the real world. It encompasses Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror, and more besides – and many of the genre bending books on this shortlist include all those elements as well. Read the descriptions and place your votes now! Signups to join the club will open soon.
