Homecoming 2007

This weekend the campus is bustling with activity. Thursday night, Dr. and Mrs. Zuker hosted Lambuth's Community Open House from 5:00 to 7:00 . The open house was a rousing success. Guests enjoyed a picnic meal on the quad and were entertained by the Entertainment/Music Industry Studies students and music department performers. Also, the open house was the occasion for the rededication of the R.E. Womack Memorial Chapel, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary.

Alumni coming for Homecoming 2007 will be impressed with all the improvements that have been completed on Lambuth's campus. Homecoming weekend is a great time to re-connect with old classmates, former professors, and old friends. Join everyone for the game at 1:30 on Saturday for the homecoming game against Belhaven college. GO EAGLES!!

Spooky Halloween

The library has been busy decorating for the upcoming Halloween holiday. Ghosts are in the air; pumpkins are floating around, and our own huge spider, Gobbel, is hard at work spinning his web. The witch is back and even Rachel, the bride in the basement, is getting into the act by putting on her own witch hat.

Thanks to John, Katie, and Jimmy for helping decorate the lobby.

Everyone have a great Fall Break and for those of you who are traveling, be safe.

New in the library

There are two new displays in the library to come and check out. We have a wall display commemorating the 400th anniversary of the settlement of Jamestown. The book display is features World War II and a selection of books about the war. Stop in and see these great displays. Katie, John, and Erin have done a great job working on them.

Also, you may want to come by and check out new additions to the library's collection. We have added the new book by former president Clinton entitled, Giving, Nixon and Mao, several award winning children's books, and the new series by Stephenie Meyer in the young adult collection. Look for a review of the Meyer books in an upcoming Library newsletter.

Also, we're adding to the "Lambuth's Best Friends" bulletin board featuring all our four-legged pals. If you have a photo of your "best friend," come by the library and put up a photo of your pet. We'd love to see the cuties who are special to you and your families.

Hope everyone is off to a great start this semester. Homecoming is fast approaching, many improvements have been made in the library and all over campus, and fall break is just a little over a week away. Everyone study hard for mid-terms and continue to check the blog for news from the library.
