Celebrate Library Lovers Month @ The Weaver

 

"How do I love thee?  Let me count the ways," wrote Elizabeth Barrett Browning back in the 1800s.  This month, MSU-Great Falls community members can count the ways they love the Weaver Library during Library Lovers Month. 

 

Library Lovers Month is an international celebration hosted by libraries from Alaska to Australia as a way to celebrate the many things that libraries provide to patrons.  Montana libraries are a powerful asset to the communities they serve.  They embrace lifelong learning and contribute to civic life in our state, making it easier for Montanans to find work, get an education, and lead healthy lives; plus they make it easier and less expensive for everyone - businesses, researchers, scientists, writers, and entrepreneurs - to find the information and data they need to build a strong economy and experience a rich quality of life. 

 

A few of the reasons to love the Weaver Library include: 

  • Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable staff;
  • Downloadable ebooks, audiobooks and old-school print books;
  • Access to more than 43,200 full-text online and print journals, magazines and newspapers;
  • Laptops & scanners available for checkout;
  • Library/research instruction available for any course;
  • E-reserves, interlibrary loan, group study rooms and so much more!

 

At the Weaver Library, we love having the opportunity to serve our community every day by helping them find the information they need.  We invite our patrons to visit the library in February and let us know just what it is that they love about us! You can also 'love' us on Facebook:  http://library.msugf.edu .
