Congratulations to Thomas Cudé, the Love Your Library! video contest winner. Thomas's wonderful video, titled "Path of a Student," demonstrates how the library can help you with papers and other other assignments. Music is provided by the orchestra, Two Steps from Hell. The library would also like to thank the other participants for a job well done. Special thanks goes to Theodore Pappas who earned an honorable mention for his entry. Enjoy! And remember, when you need to tame that beast, just come see us!

Happy Holidays from the Library!

We believe that there's no greater gift than a book. So give a gift to yourself this holiday season by checking out one or two. And remember, you'll have tons of free time over break. Don't let work, family and other obligations keep you from a good book! May we suggest the following? Starbucks can help with more than just a caffeine fix in How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else by Michael Gill. Not every disaster is natural according to The End: Natural Disasters, Manmade Catastrophes, and the Future of Human Survival by Marq De Villiers. The holidays can be a lonely, sad time for some. Learn how loneliness affects your health and how to overcome this cultural phenomenon in The Lonely American: Drifting Apart in the Twenty-First Century by Jacqueline Olds. Correlations? Data sets? Do numbers ever lie? They do according to Damned Lies and Statistics: Untangling Numbers from the Media, Politicians, and Activists by Joel Best. Ra
