We’ve officially passed the halfway mark! Only 6 weeks left until the Summer Reading Contest ends on July 31st.
As we pass this benchmark, we wanted to take the time to acknowledge that the Summer Reading Contest is a Libraries-wide endeavor. This summer we have staff from as far as the Medical Center Library in Hillcrest helping us to manage the reviews we receive.
Many of us picture Geisel when we think of a UCSD Library, but did you know there are actually 4 separate libraries within Geisel and 5 other libraries spread out across campus? Have you taken the time to explore all of the branches? You may be ordering popular reading titles from CLICS and Biomed, but have you ever toured these modern facilities?
Depending on where you work it may be a fun lunch hour adventure to visit a different library each week. The view from Scripps Oceanography is definitely worth the shuttle trip! Be sure to check the Libraries website for the hours of each of these buildings as most of them have shortened schedules during the summer months. You can also find directions to each location to help you plan your visits.
On the contest front, the team race between Today’s Specials and Don’t Call it a Comeback is as close as it gets. DCC leads by a mere two-tenths of a point! Go, Readers go! We now have 199 registered participants and 38 of you have completed the five reviews needed to attend the End of Summer Reading Luncheon happening on August 19th. With 6 weeks left, there’s still plenty of time for the rest of you to become eligible for an invite!
I’ll leave it to our Reader of the Week, Lea Sapinoso to wrap up this Update with a reminder of what the Contest is all about. This is an excerpt from a creative review she wrote after her recent exposure to author, Chuck Palahniuk.
