Hope you will join us for our upcoming event “Library Makeover: Langsam Edition” on Thursday, October 16, at 3 PM at Langsam Library by the Triceracopter. Over afternoon snacks we’ll brainstorm the future of library design from the student perspective.
Please contact Pam Bach if you have any questions.
