It looks like our book collection is growing — awesome! I hope the fort stays up this week… ; )

I think it’s leaning a bit to the left, er, east.
Gleeson has never seemed so fun! I read in the fort today–absorption levels have never been higher or more hidden.
Great! The video is the missing piece from the original class concept: what do you like about the library? what would you like to change?
I love the candid impressions and wishes — it’s a rare opportunity to hear from our “audience”.
Quite a range of responses, huh? People seemed eager to share their responses with me. It was definitely a fun project.

As the Reading Fort falls again and we bid it a final farewell, we are left with some wonderful memories & bloggy documentation of a class project in support of National Library Week.
Reading lists, photographs, comments and collaborative participation between students, faculty and the library . . . I can’t think of a project that has included so many and created so much buzz!!
I can’t wait to see what we do next year . . . borrow a person/librarian from the library, perhaps?
