- The New Strong College Writing Corner -

Did you notice how the Library is opening a bit earlier on Monday and 
Wednesday evenings this semester?  Thanks to the very good offices of 
Strong College Fellow Karen Meyers, Director of the University Writing 
Center in the McIver Building, Cornelia Strong College will have its 
very own Writing Center annex beginning Monday, January 30th.  Strong 
College students Meg Campbell and Amy Garrett are being trained by Ms. 
Meyers, and will be available every Monday and Wednesday in the Library 
from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. to offer advice and counsel for anyone working on 
a writing assignment for any course.  Watch for more information!

- In Other Library News… -

A recent field trip to the University Warehouse on Oakland Avenue made 
by Laurie White, Bob O’Hara, and Woto Nyomba, yielded a number of new 
(old) pieces of furniture for Strong College, among them a small drawing 
table which now resides in the Library.  Any students taking art classes 
that want an inclined surface to draw on might like to avail themselves 
of it.  (We’ll probably bring the electron microscope over on the next
trip…)

Bob O’Hara and Kathy Ross made yet another field trip, this time to 
KMart (going out of business, everything 30% off; how could we resist?) 
and picked up several very nice carpets to warm the Library floors and 
your feet.  They do wonders for the Library’s atmosphere, and we hope 
you will enjoy them.

Foithermore: Prof. Steve Danford, one of our Strong College Fellows, 
collected $80 in donations from the Fellows (thank you!) at the end of 
last semester, and along with Dr. White and Dr. O’Hara he selected a 
whole carton of books and maps for the Library.  These have recently 
been delivered, and once they receive our stamp they will be available 
for browsing by all.

And also: Our thanks to Woto Nyomba for donating two stamps from the 
United Arab Emirates to our growing stamp collection.

- Poem-of-the-Week -

The Strong College Poem-of-the-Week is now appearing on the bulletin 
board outside the College Office.  This week’s poem is Dylan Thomas’s 
“In My Craft or Sullen Art” (1946).
