Finals Hours at the library begin today! Here's a listing of our hours through the end of the semester:
Best of luck on finals, and don't forget--your friendly librarians are always available if you have any last-minute questions...!
Because you're at the Library on a frequent basis (wink wink), you may have noticed that the "reference desk" is now vacant, and there is a new computer conspicuously placed at the check-out desk.
That is because the reference desk and the check-out desk have combined their powers to form the INFORMATION DESK! Yes, now you will have access to one-stop shopping for all of your information needs, be they about fines, renewals, and check-outs or articles, reference books, and citation styles.
Visit us today!

"Perhaps literature is the best lens through which to observe Mexico's soul." ~Jorge F. Hernandez

"Mexico and the United States share a long border and a common history. Although our two nations remain separate and independent, they are also deeply interrelated not only through economic ties, political cooperation, and cultural exchange but also by flesh and blood through the many millions of Mexican-Americans who personally embody the intermingling of our two great and complex countries.
There is perhaps no better way for two nations to learn about one another than through sharing their stories. Sun, Stone, and Shadows presents a superb selection of the finest Mexican short stories of the twentieth century. No one can read this arresting volume without experiencing the wonder and surprise of discovery." --From the NEA Big Read
