UC Clermont Library maintains several book displays across the UC Clermont campus: one that features new materials in the library and three other throughout campus that pertain to timely issues. We feature all of the materials available in these physical displays on our digital display website and on our New Books Blog so that you can explore what is on our physical display shelves from the comfort of your home, access electronic materials, and request items from each display. Our display topics for the month of February 2025 are Black History Month, the Great Backyard Bird Count, and World Day of Social Justice.

Quiet Floor Quest at UC Clermont
In Fall 2023, the UC Clermont Learning Commons joined the Marcotte Library space on the 2nd floor. After a year and half of the collaboration, we’ve heard your feedback! The 2nd floor of the library will return to a quiet study space. Learning Commons activities and sessions will now be held on the 1st floor, which will make it easier to access and allow for the noise that accompanies group activities.
Open study space will still be available on the 1st floor. If space should be tight, the second floor will be available. Check in for Learning Commons activities will now occur at the front desk. To help increase visibility of the upstairs study space, UC Clermont will be hosting the Quiet Floor Quest through January 24.
Locate 5 hidden bearcats in the library who each have secret word to share with you. Submit the hidden message in our online form to show you found each of the wily bearcats. Participants in the scavenger hunt will be in raffle for stuffed bearcat of their own with other UC swag.

You can sign in to the display using a mouse and keyboard available at the front desk or connect your laptops to the display to host your meeting. The rooms can be reserved online through our website or through the QR codes posted on the doors.
The rooms remain first-come, first-served when no reservations have been made at least 1-business day in advance. Just stop by the front desk to have the room unlocked!
