Last blog of the school year 2017

Congratulations to the class of 2017! This school will not be the same with you!

Farewell to part of our wonderful team. Mr. Sutton, enjoy retirement! Ms. Morford, enjoy Texas! Erin, we know you are on to bigger and better things as you commence your student teaching.

Our resident dragon Pickles is looking forward to getting to know all of the new subfreshmen next semester! Everyone, enjoy your summer, and you are looking for good books to dig into over the summer, please visit your local librarians (pick me! pick me!) for some recommendations!

In With the New!

Greetings all!

It has been a while since the last post in the Gargoyle Gateway, and for that I extend my apologies!! As the new librarian, jumping right into the swing of things at the beginning of last semester was a great way to get to know the Uni community, but not a great way to keep up with social media. But we are back in full swing, so check back here for more updates as the semester goes on to see what's happening in your local dragon's lair. Also, check out our Instagram (follow unihighlibrary) and our Twitter (@UniHighLibrary) for some of the cool stuff we will be posting there.

Here is the newsletter for January!

Out With the Old

Sorry for the delay in posting! It has been a busy month, some of which was documented at the library's new Instagram account; follow us at https://www.instagram.com/unihighlibrary/!

A little recap of what happened this past month...

An Agora Unleashed Kind of Week

This week we've had the honor of hosting not one, but two Agora Unleashed sessions. From Umar's Uni Period discussion on anti-heroes and why we love them to today's lunchtime talk on Marfan Syndrome, led by the fabulous Kat, we've been busy educating AND entertaining!

Umar examines the modern day anti-hero generally...

And Deadpool in particular.

It's Marfan Awareness Month, and Kat has the scoop!

Thanks for the insights, Kat!
