TIP #1 - We stay open longer than usual on the last three Saturdays of the Fall and Spring semesters:

Have too many distractions at home?  Need a quiet place to study for your exams?  The library is open Saturday, April 14, 21, and 28 from 9:00 to 4:00.  We’re also open Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Come on in, but don’t make us “SHUSH” you.

It's National Library Week! Brown Library has a few things cooked up in order to celebrate.

• Six Word Memoirs: Write your life in six words, and be eligible to win a “Writer’s Gift Basket!” Examples can be found here: Six-Word Memoirs: Life Stories Distilled on NPR. Enter to win online, or pick up a paper entry form in the library (one student and one faculty/staff winner).
• Library Find-a-Word, main floor

We’ll also have a table at Spring Fling on Friday, April 20th, where you’ll be able to create your own Newspaper Poems as well!
