Yesterday, library was happy to host a reading of excerpts of the Vagina Monologues as part of the college’s Women’s History Month Events.
Lynn Bailey, a member of the Women’s History Month Committee, introduces the event.
Students on the Forensics Team and Theater Department performed the dramatic readings.
We are happy to be hosting the traveling exhibit, Gulag Labor Camp, Perm-36: The Forgotten Holocaust, which is sponsored by Moraine Valley’s Office of Global Education. This exhibit will be on display between now and the end of March.
The library will be opened from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday, March 12-16. Week-end hours will be the same (Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.).
Today the library held a panel discussion about the Iraq War as part of the One Book, One College Program. This is a follow up to a panel that was held four years ago on the eve of the bombing of Baghdad. Today’s panel discussed the future of Iraq and noted some of the issues that have arisen over the last four years.
This was a great discussion, and the library staff would like to thank the faculty members, panel members, and audience members who time to attend and discuss such important topics.
A recording of today’s event is available on the library event podcast page.
Panel Members Fefles, Droel, and Schreck
Close to 100 students, faculty, and members of the public attended this discussion.
Due to server maintenance, the library’s catalog and home access to the library databases will be unavailable on March 13th. Access to the library’s databases will be available from on campus only. It is anticipated that full access to the library’s catalog and databases will resume on March 14th.
We apologize for any inconvience that this may cause.
