Clermont College Library is sponsoring a passive program to direct attention to the second floor of the library. Our second floor is the only quiet study space on campus. And we want students to know about it. Since selfies have become a fun part of society, we’re asking students to visit Clermont College library’s second floor, snap a selfie, then email the photo to penny.mcginnis@uc.edu between October 5-29. We’ll share them on Twitter and Facebook.
A random drawing will determine which student wins a $25 Amazon gift card.
We also welcome administration, faculty and staff to send a photo or post one on Twitter @ucclermontlib. We are using the #SecondFloorSelfie tag on Twitter. Check it out!

Friends,
I’m so happy to announce that our new info monitor in the library‘s entryway has arrived.
This monitor, graciously sponsored by UC Clermont’s BLT (Business, Law, and Technology) Department, will help communicate the library’s programs and offerings with our campus community. Best of all, it’s visible from both the hallway and from inside the library. Plus, we think it really brightens up the space.
Thanks, BLT! We <3 our new info monitor.
Let’s make fall 2017 a great semester, together!

Have you ever read fake news? Most of us have.
As a college student writing research papers you want the correct facts. One way to search and find facts is to use the databases available through the library and seek assistance from one of our reference librarians.
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions has some great tips for spotting fake news.
As a reminder to get your facts from reliable sources, we’re giving away FACTS t-shirts.
Sign up in the library before September 22 for a chance to win!

This semester the library is proud to exhibit the art of Terri Teague. Ms. Teague, who serves as lab manager for the Fine Arts programs at UC Clermont, has been a friendly fixture around our campus for many years. In fact, she’s helped to install many of the beautiful art exhibits around our campus, including those in the art gallery and the library.
Ms. Teague’s exhibit includes fourteen individual portraits in a variety of mediums—pencil, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel. In her artist statement, she credits the gifted teachers at UC Clermont with teaching her to draw and paint, “open[ing] my eyes to a new way of looking at the world.”
Come check out Terri Teague’s work in the library’s Student Art Spotlight through December 2017. And, as always, we thank Fine Arts faculty Kelly Frigard and Kim Taylor for their dedicated support of the Student Art Spotlight since 2015.

Great news – our textbooks are now available for checkout beyond the library’s walls!
The library purchases core textbooks for Clermont College classes, and they’d previously been available for 2-hour checkout inside the library only. We’ve relaxed our policy, so now students can take them ANYWHERE for 2 hours. Take your book to class, take your book outside, take your book to Subway – whatever floats your boat.
If you have any questions about our textbooks, please contact the library’s Public Services Manager, Natalie Winland.

Friends,
We’re so happy to be able to serve you once again in the Clermont College Library’s typical location, Peters-Jones 120. And after being temporarily relocated to the Snyder Building to make way for plumbing, mechanical, and electrical upgrades, I like to think we’re also better than ever before!
Let’s make fall 2017 a great semester, together!
Sincerely,
Katie Foran-Mulcahy

The Clermont College Library will be relocated for 6 weeks this summer, from June 19th until August 1st. During this period, the building that houses our campus library, the Peters-Jones Building, will undergo extensive upgrades to its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Clermont College Library
6 week relocation
June 19-August 1
to Snyder 164
For those 6 weeks, library services and staff offices will migrate to the Snyder Building. Our temporary service point (shared with the IT HelpDesk) will be located in Snyder 164. The open computer lab will be located in Snyder 162. Staff offices will relocate to Snyder 166. The library will maintain some group study and lounge space for students in S164 as well.
The majority of library services will remain available during the relocation, including:
Aside from our physical relocation, there are two major changes I want to make you aware of – library hours and library collections. Hours will adjust to Monday-Thursday 7:30-5 and Friday 7:30-4 during the relocation, but the lab in S162 will remain open until 7pm. We’ll also be unable to access collections during the closure. If you need an item, we can still order it from other UC or Ohio libraries.
Please contact me if you have any questions. Please know that we aim to do everything possible to make this temporary relocation as seamless as possible for our campus community.
See you in Snyder,
Katie Foran-Mulcahy
Library Director
This Clermont event is a great time for a great cause. Can’t wait to see you all there!

1st Place
Our footsteps were wild
Untamed, sporadic. Underneath,
The grass breathed heavy
Treva Noakes-Miller
2nd Place
Humid air I choke,
The swelter of summer mist,
I cough up rain clouds.
Julia Wahle
3rd Place
I have never seen
ever more than one heron,
is it the same one?

Honorable Mentions
Buy the neighbors land,
you go to take down the fence,
a tree grows through it

They found the perfect soldier,
I could’ve followed them to hell and back,
and maybe I did.
McKenzie Bracco
In the dead of night
She suffered and was born dead
Through love she breathed
Christine Campbell
That night he held me
Fireflies were candlelight
And my ribs, a cage
Treva Noakes-Miller
Wrinkled sky, ripped clouds
Creases where you leaned in, drowned.
Ripples without sound
Treva Noakes-Miller
My art is something
raised by howling packs of wolves
drawing little lambs.
