Thanks to the participation of Kettering students, faculty and staff, our 20th gaming night was a ton of fun! You can view photos here from throughout the night.
Special thanks to the Student Housing Department for allowing us to borrow their games and consoles, the Business Department for loaning us their ping pong table and to FOLA for sponsoring the event.
Wednesday January 25th (third week) is Gaming Night in the KU Library. Challenge your friends at Rock Band, Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero and other games on the Wii, PlayStation 2 or X-Box 360. If board games or cards are more your style, we have those too! Have another favorite? Bring it with you to share! Free food, soda, and snacks will also be provided.
While enjoying the food and games, why not take a look around the library? You may be surprised to learn that, in addition to our collection of academic books and periodicals, we also have a selection of classic fiction, including works by Graham Greene and Kurt Vonnegut. If you enjoy modern fiction, check out our Great Reads collection. The library also has DVDs available for check-out, including newer movie releases and a variety of television series. And don’t miss out on the library’s graphic novel collection!
We hope to see you in the library on Wednesday, January 25th from 5:30pm – 9pm. Come for the free food and entertainment, and return for our excellent resources. Sponsored by Friends of the Kettering University Library and Scharchburg Archives (FOLA).
Winter Term's book is "The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America" by Erik Larson, and the discussion will take place on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012 at 12:20 p.m. Bring your lunch and join us in the library for an engaging conversation about the book and the author. Stop by the library if you need a copy of the book or request one online.
"Beneath the gore and smoke and loam, this book is about the evanescence of life, and why some men choose to fill their brief allotment of time engaging the impossible, others in the manufacture of sorrow. In the end it is a story the ineluctable conflict between good and evil, daylight and darkness, the White City and the Black." -- Erik Larson
Have you already read this book? Join us anyway; we'd enjoy hearing your thoughts.
Participants in February’s book discussion will be given the opportunity to help choose next term's book and/or genre! If you have any questions, please contact Dawn Winans (x9842), Jessica Sanchez (x7815), or Charles Hanson (x7812).
