We helped this yeti find her book and we can help you too! Tutt patrons are encouraged to visit the reference desk for both research help and suggestions for the next book you'll love reading over block break - but now we are also showcasing some of our favorite online pleasure reading sites at our new Reader's Advisory page. Check it out!
Over winter break, facilities removed the very old, worn lobby carpeting and replaced it with new carpet tiles. It was a big job!
Come visit the library and see the final result:
It's that time of year again: The New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, Publishers' Weekly, and others have put out their best of 2009 lists, the National Book Awards have been handed out, and the holiday "book buzz" can be heard in libraries and bookstores across the land.
Having trouble keeping track of all those great books? This year, Tutt Library staff have created a display featuring the cream of the crop. Our "Best of 2009" shelves are filling quickly, and we encourage everyone to come check them out. The display can be found in the library lobby, between Current Books and New Books. Remember, Tutt will be closed from 5 pm December 18th until noon on January 3rd, so now is the time to stock up for Winter Break!
Come in and check out our new Halloween display and while you’re at it, check out a scary book or video. We have an array of spine chilling works like Poe’s “The Raven” and Clive Barker’s Books of Blood. If you’re looking for books by the prolific American horror writers Stephen King or Anne Rice, we have some on display and many more in Tutt North Basement (King’s books start at the call number range PS 3561.I483, Rice is at call number PS 3568.I265). We also have both classic and more modern movies on video tape, from Frankenstein to Nightmare on Elm Street parts 1 and 2.
Every year, we Tuttians get very excited about the wonderful group of authors brought to the college as part of the Visiting Writers Series, and we make sure to stock up on their books. This year, we are doing a special feature on these writers with a lobby display, so that it will be easy to find a book by that amazing novelist you just heard last night, or scope out which writers' events you really won't want to miss throughout the year. Come on over and browse!
