Now it Looks Like a Library!

Oct 10th, 2011 by

You’ll notice something new when you walk by the Information Commons @ CTC. Elegant lettering on the windows proudly declares:

LIBRARIES    CONNECT     ENGAGE     LEARN

You’ll find these same words on the header of the Clark College Libraries website. Those words are what we’re all about:  Making connections between and among students, faculty and information, providing opportunities for engaging and interacting with information, and embracing the learning opportunities that meet each of us every day.

Special thanks to our colleague in Facilities Services, Thor Tesdale, who worked with us on this project.  His suburb craftsmanship makes it possible for us to share our message with everyone who walks by.

April 12 is Library Snapshot Day

Apr 11th, 2011 by

Libraries across the state are participating in WA Library Snapshot Day by collecting statistics, comments, and photographs from a typical day.

Please stop by the Information Commons on April 12 to use our computers or study rooms, check out laptops, calculators,  or reserve materials, look over the new browsing collection of books, and visit with Kitty and Connie.

We’ll also be showing a selection of TED Talks videos in Study Room 219B, so drop in and enjoy the virtual presentations.

Be a part of our “day in the life of libraries” and help to tell the story of the impact of libraries on the Clark College community.  The Information Commons at CTC is open from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. We’ll be posting photos to our Facebook page throughout the day (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cannell-Library/15378163723?v=info).

Snapshot Day is a project of Clark College Libraries, the Washington Library and Media Directors’ Council, and American Library Association (ALA).
