Looking for something fun to do this week?
Wednesday, November 5th, at 2pm, there will be a presentation on winter safety tips and survival skills in the East Peoria campus library. They may not save you from a Murder on the Orient Express, but they could come in handy over the next few months!

An important note for our students: the library's study rooms aren't soundproof! The people in adjoining rooms and at nearby tables can definitely hear your music, and probably your conversation if you're loud enough. Please be aware - and considerate!

Heads up, ICC - tomorrow is the first Relax In The Stacks event of the new school year! That means the East Peoria library is the place to be from 11-1. Grab a snack, unwind with an activity, pet the therapy dogs. See you there!

The heat is bearable, classes are in session, and the students are back in the library. Aslan is on the move.

Just found out my office mate has never heard the "Bulbous Bouffant" song, and now I'm wondering how to tie that to the national trend of declining vocabularies...

Summer classes turn the library into an even more liminal space than it is during the school year. It almost feels like we're frozen in time. Especially when it's almost lunch time.

As a reminder, both ICC campuses will be closed tomorrow in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. The library's online resources will be available, as always, but the buildings themselves will be closed. Have a safe and happy celebration!
