2:15 p.m. We have come full circle. Instead of going to the ends of the campus we decided to choose four or five prime locations and just rotate through them during the semester. This is the second time that I have been to the Soda Shoppe on the top floor of our building. Instead of the other places that I have been which were more student life locations, this location is an academic setting with classrooms all around and faculty offices down every hall. The last time I was here I had some great conversations with both students and faculty. Hopefully, today will be more of the same.
2:30 p.m. One of our student workers had a great idea for Librarian on Location publicity. She suggested that we put out a sign that says "Research Paper Help". Simple and obvious right? This is officially term paper season and if you have students who have these assignments on their mind when they walk by you what better way to make it obvious what you are able to do for them.
2:37 p.m. My eavesdropping skills are in full force today. A female student just walked by and I over heard her ask another student. "Is the library open on the weekends? I was just wondering because I have only been to the library like twice." The funny part is our library isn't in its own building but a part of a three story complex that includes classrooms in the basement and on the top floor. This student probably has walked through the library on the way to class several times. Is the library just a hall or walk way to her?
2:42 I am doing this with a heavy heart today because our Director of Library Services, Peggy Martin, passed away over night from a combination of pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis. This is stunning to us because her sickness wasn't prolonged. She was a great servant librarian, a creative idea person, and a encouragement to all of us.
