Fall into the Library--Fall Semester 2008

We’d like to welcome SAU students, staff, and faculty to another exciting academic year at St. Ambrose University. Very soon students will begin moving their belongings into residence halls and collecting textbooks and other educational paraphernalia; faculty members will be finalizing syllabi and submitting articles to be placed on electronic reserve; librarians will welcome first-year and returning students to Information Literacy classes and new faculty members to the library. 

If you find you need a reprieve from the flurry of activity, we hope you will consider visiting the library to take advantage of quiet study areas, individual and group study rooms, and our student lounge. If you’re new to our library, don’t be shy about introducing yourself to library staff members. We welcome you and all SAU community members and hope that you find the library to be an environment that encourages study and intellectual and personal growth.

Oh, and there’ll be FOOD!
