Clermont College is hosting a special event and an online auction to raise money for our 21st Century Library Transformation, student scholarships, and a new fine arts classroom.  Be a part of the action and plan to attend and/or bid in the auction.  The event includes dinner by the bite, an open bar, live music, and a special address from President Ono.

On a personal note, I’m beyond thrilled to have our library among the year’s fundraising priorities for Clermont College.  Strong attendance at this event will have a huge impact on our ability to improve our library.  Even if you cannot attend, please help us spread the word.

What: The Main Event: A Red & Black Revue
Where: Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites — Eastgate
When: Tuesday, April 5, 2016. The event begins at 4:30pm.

See you there,

Quacks for Stacks is Back!

quacks2

Quacks for Stacks is happening again this year at Clermont College Library.

Try your luck, buy a duck — it’s just a buck.  We’ll draw the winning duck from a kiddie pool on March 31 at Clermont College’s Spring Fling event.

This year, you can come to the library to buy your duck OR enter online for a chance to win an Asus Transformer Book 2-in-1 laptop generously donated by Fifth Third Bank.  Each duck purchased = 1 chance to win.  All proceeds from this fundraiser benefit your 21st Century Library Transformation.

We’re happy to report that our new library website is up and running!  This fresh new look allows users to have a more seamless experience transitioning to other UC college libraries, as well as the benefit of using a site tested and designed with library users in mind.

Looking for something from our old site that you don’t see here?  Check out our 90-second library website tutorial, or stop in and ask a staff member for help.

Website Migration @ Clermont Library

Posted on by

Heads up — the Clermont College Library is migrating to a new website template on Friday, December 11th.  While our website’s address won’t change, the site may not be available for your use on Friday on an intermittent basis.

If you’re experiencing issues , please visit the UC Libraries website for access to all of your favorite library resources like Summon, Academic Search Complete, UC Library Catalog, and more.  When the new site is complete, the look and feel will be similar to other UC Libraries websites, including the Langsam Library, the Blue Ash College Library, and the Health Sciences Library.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to make changes to serve you better.

In addition to repeating last year’s Quacks for Stacks fundraiser, we’re planning more initiatives for the coming year including A Literary Affair on Wednesday, September 23rd.

This fun event will kick-off the transformation and include a plaque dedication ceremony for former Library Director Fred Marcotte, as well as highlight exciting plans for improvements to the space. For more information about this event or donating to the 21st Century Library Campaign, contact Dana Parker 513- 558-9964 or Mindi Hilgeman 513-558-3420.

Be Your Own Hero in the Library

Posted on by

Be Your Own Hero

Have you ever wanted to be a superhero? Maybe you are somebody’s hero? Everyone’s inspired by somebody or something. Batman had Robin, Batgirl had the library, and the Flash had the Justice League. Who has inspired you to be a hero?

Stop by the Clermont College Library and enter the “Be Your Own Hero” contest. The grand prize — $25.00 gift card.

While you’re in the library, share the name of your literary hero on the superhero board — a comic book character, a fictional or biographical person, a movie or TV personality, whoever you like.

You can be a successful student by being your own hero.
