January 27th is Holocaust Remembrance Day.

 

The Holocaust

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) defines the Holocaust as the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. During the Holocaust, German authorities targeted groups because of perceived racial and biological inferiority: Roma (Gypsies), people with disabilities, and those of Slavic background (Poles and Russians). Other groups persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds included Communists, Socialists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and those in the LGBTQ community.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

Holocaust Remembrance Day is a solemn occasion to reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust and to strengthen our commitment to preventing such atrocities from ever occurring again.

Gratitude beyond Measure

By Sarah Lyon


By Sarah Lyon

When they give you their sympathies,
You may smile and say thanks,


But they don’t know what you’ve seen.
They don’t know what you’ve lost,
they don’t understand the cost.


Family torn apart,
surviving with a broken heart.


Your story is an incredible one,
One we could only begin to imagine.
One that I can’t even fathom.
But your strength through it all
Is what really outshines and stands tall.


So to you I want to say, you’re amazing.
Thank you for sharing what you’ve seen,
even when you were at the tender age of a
teen.


For that time may have taken so much,
but I’m so glad we’re in touch.

Help us kick off the new year by swinging in and checking out a great new book! 

Hours for the winter term (1/6/25 - 3/21/25) will be as follows:

  • Monday: 7:45am - 5:00pm
  • Tuesday: 7:45am - 5:00pm
  • Wednesday:  7:45am - 5:00pm

Do you Still Have Items From Fall Term?

  • Library reserve items (textbooks, calculators, laptops, course kits) are checked out for one term only with the due date being the last Friday of term (for fall that was amended to be December 2 because of the holiday). Students must return items at the end of each term, failure to return items within 2-weeks of the term's end will be reported to Student Accounts and a hold will be placed on their accounts.

Late Laptops

  • If a laptop is returned late, the borrower may be subject to a 1-week waiting period before they can check out another laptop. This waiting period ensures that library staff have sufficient time to reimage the laptop and make it available to other students who have returned their laptops on time.

Consequences of Circulation Violation

  • Failure to comply with library circulation procedures may result in suspension of borrowing privileges.
  • Students who keep Reserve items significantly past the time they are due, preventing other students from using the material, may be referred to the Office of Student Conduct.
