Kutztown University's newly dedicated Marlin and Regina Miller Gallery,
previously the Sharadin Art Gallery, is a beautiful space in which faculty,
students, and visiting artists exhibit diverse works of art, which stimulate
discussion and challenge assumptions. Make sure you check-out each exhibit as
they change throughout the year. See the video of the
dedication here:

One last reminder about the Rohrbach Library Open House on Monday, Sept.
19 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. I know some of you have already gotten back to
us to let us know that you are sending your classes and are offering extra
credit. If anyone else plans to send their classes, please let me or Krista
Prock (prock@kutztown.edu) know so that
we can plan accordingly. Make sure you tell them to put your name and the course
on the back of their passports. We'll compile all of your students and send you
a list of who attended. Even if you aren't offering credit, we would appreciate
it if you would share this opportunity to learn about the library with your
students.
The students will complete a self-guided tour to 8 library locations, including
our new Media Collection on the second floor, where the DVD's from the
Audiovisual Center are going as we finish processing them. At each location, a
library employee will stamp their passport and tell them about that area. The
students will fill out the back of the passport for a chance to win prizes; this
is where the professor and course information will also be submitted.
Thanks for your support. We are hoping for another great turnout.
(Note: any professors who would like to complete a trip around our library
during the Open House are also welcome to do so! It's a fun way to see the
various areas of the library, including our current exhibits.)

professor, librarian, Rohrbach Library

Service Request Schedule/Special Event Support- In an effort to
better serve our customers, the Facilities Office schedules event support and
deliveries in advance. As a result of the volume of these types of requests,
timely planning and notification by our customers will greatly increase our
opportunity for success in this area. Because of the many varied interests and
competing priorities, we must be able to better anticipate use of our limited
resources. In the future, the Facilities Department may not be able to guarantee
that we will service requests on short notice, since doing so may impact other
customers' planned requests. Please submit your set-up requests and special
event support needs at least two weeks in advance through iService Desk in order
to assure that you will have the level of support that you need. Thank you for
your attention in this matter.
