Halloween!

The kids at Busy Bees visited the library to trick or treat for Halloween.They enjoyed posing with our skeleton and our display of scary books!

A Very Century College Library Halloween

Halloween is almost here! Here are a few Century College Library approved ways to celebrate the holiday:

• Get in the mood with a spooky story! Check out the Library’s display case for a great selection which includes favorite authors such as Stephen King and Anne Rice as well as books about ghost and ghouls! 

• If you’re short on time try a classic like The Legend of Sleepy Hollow By Washington Irving or The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. These classics are short and available online through the Century College Library Catalog. (May require StarID and password)

• Need a last minute Halloween costume? Why not dress as your favorite book character? This chart from Bookish.com can help you figure out a very literary Halloween costume.

Banned Book Week Recap

Banned Books Week is now over. Here's a short recap of our Banned Books Week celebration at Century College Library.  

Some great Bookface photos were taken.

We had a drawing for some pretty cool Banned Books swag.

Congratulations to our winners!

Urik Popov, Devin Wick and Ebony Moore!

Students commented about Persepolis on our board. Many were surprised to find out so many books they knew were banned or challenged. We had a great week celebrating our freedom to read. Thanks to all those who stopped in, participated and asked questions.

Banned Books Week

Century College Library is celebrating Banned Books Week September 28 – October 3.   Libraries are committed to supporting the freedom to seek and express ideas, even those that some consider unpopular.  Stop in to the library and enter our drawing for a Banned Books tote, pencil case and a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.  Take a moment to participate in BookFace. And check out the library display case and see some of the surprising titles that have been challenged or banned. 

Good News About Scanning in the Library

Scanning print items will soon be much easier.  One of our librarians, Jane Young, has won a digital scanner, the KIC Click Mini. It will scan both pages of an open book or journal placed face up in the cradle. When it arrives, it will be available in our copy room for student use.  

Curious about our new scanner?  Check out the link and keep watching this space for updates!

Student Success Day

Will you be on campus for Student Success Day? Stop into the Library at 12:30 for the breakout session Your Library, Your Lifeline. We all know the library is an excellent place to do research, but sometimes you need to do practical things like write a resume, manage your finances, or find a scholarship. Take a tour and find out how using the library can help you manage your life. The session will be held in E1852, the Library’s Computer Classroom.

We will also be handing out candy, so please stop in!
