The Musselmans took a lot of epic-looking road trips apart from their circus travels.
So, as we head into the long weekend and the unofficial start of summer, we’re wishing everyone a happy #NationalRoadTripDay. Make the most of it however you get there!

For World Meditation Day, please enjoy one of our Special Collections Librarian's cat, Sasha, lying on the floor staring at her while she meditates at home. She gets the assignment.

Happy #WorldBeeDay! We threw some butterflies into the mix because bees are awesome, but so are all the other pollinators out there!
These illustrations are from volumes of the 1843 Naturalist”s Library (vol. 34 — bees, vol. 4 — butterflies).

Join us tomorrow in the Digital Scholarship Lab (Milner FL 1) from 10-4 for a transcribe-a-thon!
You can always head over to FromThePage.com to work on Milner Library's projects, but we think hanging out and transcribing in a space together is a fun way to end the week!

It’s that time of year again! We love that Canadian geese nest around campus i. The spring and we just spotted a pair standing atop the Bowling and Billiards Center next to the library.
Just stay clear and they will [probably] let you pass 🤣.
