We've Moved! New 1st Level Information Desk Location
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve customer service, we will be experimenting with "moving" our 1st Level Information Desk. Our reference librarians will now share space with our circulation assistants at the Check Out Desk. Reference librarians will be available at the far right computer station to help you find the information you need. Let us know what you think of our "move," we'd love your feedback.

Free ACT/SAT Practice Test with Kaplan Test Prep
 Both the ACT and the SAT are nationally administered standardized tests that help colleges evaluate candidates. All schools accept either test interchangably. As you begin to think about college and creating the best application package possible, your admissions plan should begin with the question, "Which test should I take?" This 3.5 hour Combo Practice Test helps students decide which test is right for them. Students will receive feedback comparing their performance on each of the test sections of the two exams. Bring a calculator, several sharpened #2 pencils with an eraser, and a snack to eat during the short breaks. Saturday, April 20 | 10:30am-2:30pm 500 Washington Street | Bldg. 100 | Rm. 100 N. Registration Required | For High School Students Find out how you scored on the Combo Practice Test and learn how to improve your results. Saturday, April 27 | 1-4pm McKune Room | Drop-in For Combo Practice Test Participants

Blind Date with a Book
There is still time to let us set you up with a good read! Our Blind Date with a Book display will be up through Sunday, April 21. Choose a wrapped book based on the descriptions written on the cover, check it out, and don't open it until you get home. Inside you'll find a "rate-it" card. After you've read the book, share your thoughts, and return the card to any Information Desk by Sunday, April 30 to be entered into a drawing for read-themed prizes.
