Congrats Sammy!!


The library wishes to extend congratulations to our reference librarian, Sammy Chapman, on receiving the James E. Ward Library Instruction Award at the Tennessee Library Association annual conference in Chattanooga. Kudos to Sammy for the excellent job he does working with the students and faculty of Lambuth.

Also, in the library...

The student staff has been shelf reading the entire collection . As of today, all sections have been completed with the exception of 1, and the students are working diligently to finish before the end of the semester.

As a part of National Library Week, the student staff celebrated National Library Workers Day with a pizza party. Lambuth library has a great group of young people, and the library staff is really appreciative of all their efforts.

On display this month...



Dr. Marion V. Creekmore, Jr., Visiting Professor of History and Political Science at Emory University in Altanta, will be the speaker for this year's commencement exercises. To learn more about Dr. Creekmore and his book, A Moment of Crisis, visit the library and check out the displays the students have created.



In an effort to prepare for the upcoming inventory, all library items are due on May 30.

Everyone have a great day!

Lunch with the Pros


The Lambuth University School of Business and Economics started the "Lunch with the Pros" series in 2001. The school invites distinguished business people to speak to students in an informal setting during the lunch hour. The meetings take place in the Jack Morris Ballroom of the Wilder College Union. Discussions begin at 12:15. The speakers explain career opportunities in their areas of expertise, how they prepared for their careers, and what they think a student needs to do today to prepare for a career in the speaker's field. There is a question and answer period to allow students to ask the speakers specific questions. All business majors and those considering majoring in business are encouraged to attend. "Lunch with the Pros" is an excellent opportunity for Lambuth students to learn and make contacts which may be helpful after graduation.


In conjunction with "Lunch with the Pros," this month's display in the library features the Nestle company and its CEO Joe Weller. Stop by the library and check out the display created by Katie, Valerie, Jane, Louise, and John.
