Fireside Readers Book Discussion for June

Fireside Readers Book Discussion Group

On June 7^th the book group will meet to discuss We Band of Angels: The Untold Story of American Nurses Trapped on Bataan by the Japanese. The book written by Elizabeth M. Norman offers the inspirational, little-known story of the "Angels of Bataan," the American nurses who worked on Bataan and who were captured along with American soldiers after the fall of Corregidor during World War II. This book celebrates the heroism of the Army and Navy nurses imprisoned for three years in a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp.

The group meets at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. As always, new members and guests are always welcome. Join us, even if you haven’t finished the book! Light refreshments will be served.

Quiet week for exam week

In order to help our students do their best on their final exams, the library will be offering a quiet place for study during exam week, Monday, May 3rd through Saturday, May 8th.

Students, faculty, and staff are asked to remain quiet in the library during this week and turn off their cell phones before they enter the library. Headphones are available at the information desk for anyone wishing to listen to audio on their computers. Silence will be enforced in the table area, community room, and library lab. Students wishing to use the group study rooms are also asked to refrain from loud discussions and to close the door when studying with groups.
