Laurie Strome, Supervisor of Patron Accounts, came to work this week to find this note in her mailbox, along with a “roll up the rim to win” free donut. The note was dropped off over the weekend addressed to “Dear Librarian of UWaterloo” and it’s simply too cute not to share. La Bastille of St. Paul Res — all library staff thank you for your kind show of appreciation!
Librarians are moving beyond the reference desk once again to help students with their research questions at locations across campus. The latest locale is the Student Life Centre (SLC), where librarians are teaming up with staff from the Writing Centre to offer drop-in research and writing advice.
The Library is pleased to welcome Jessica Blackwell and Rachel McNeil to Waterloo’s league of librarians! The Library’s newest librarian hires, Jessica and Rachel are both recent graduates of Western’s MLIS program and both also worked here during their co-op placements and then later in contract positions.
German letters donated to the Library’s Special Collections & Archives in 2005 as an accrual to the Breithaupt Hewetson Clark family archives have now been transcribed and translated and are available for researchers.
Stay hydrated and protect the environment! Thanks to the new water bottle filling station on the 3rd floor of the Dana Porter Library you can do both of these things simultaneously.
