Join the UC Blue Ash Library as we celebrate National Information Literacy Awareness Month in a variety of ways, including:

  • Myth Manor: Visit Area 113 (the library study rooms) on October 31st to learn about various hoaxes, myths, and urban legends
  • Food for Thought Book Display: Browse and borrow highlighted book titles from the library collection centered around the UCBA First Year Experience theme: Food.
  • Question of the Day: Each day during the week of October 28, we’ll post a question that makes you think about what you know about hoaxes, myths, and urban legends. Look for the chalkboard directly across from the library front entrance. We encourage you to post your comments and feedback. We’ll share the responses in a slideshow at the end of the week.
