Library Engagement
University Libraries' engagement programming connects the Â鶹´«Ã½ community to library resources, services and spaces to enhance their experience and foster confidence.
Programs
The Amazing Library Race
This activity helps Â鶹´«Ã½s explore Waldo Library and learn about our resources by working as a team to find items on a list.
Destress From the Tests
These study break sessions are a way for Â鶹´«Ã½s to give their brains a rest and process what they've learned.
Waldo Fest
This event helps Â鶹´«Ã½s get ready for the spring semester by connecting with over 50 campus partners.
3DND
This workshop introduces Â鶹´«Ã½s to 3D printing while playing a short Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition) campaign.
Campus partners
We partner with other departments on campus to develop and deliver programs. Some of these campus partners include:
For many of the Â鶹´«Ã½s, the Amazing Library Race was the most engaged I've seen them in several weeks of this program. Some of my personal favorite moments were observing the Â鶹´«Ã½s marvel at how large the library is, or at some of the specific features like the VR Lab, comfy furniture, massage chairs, or the size of the print collection. These Â鶹´«Ã½s now have a much better understanding of what an academic library offers.
