Winter Photographs

Images of Winter





Yes, It' still winter and I thought you might enjoy some photos from one of the many storms we've had already this winter.

This is taken from the front door, looking east. The trees were so pretty all covered in ice. I was trying to capture how the tree encased with ice glittered in the sun. Unfortunately, my pictures just don't do mother nature justice!




Here is a side view of the library.
Even in the austere greyness of winter,
the building still emerges from the hill as a pillar of learning!





Finally, the "mushroom tree" picture. This is the large fir tree directly across the street from the library. As you can tell, it was heavily laden with ice. It reminds me of the morel variety of mushrooms.

Blogging Acquisitions Lists

In addition to sending out the Acquisitions Lists to a faculty and staff, I have decided to post them to this blog. This will provide another avenue for you, as a faculty member, to review or refresh your memory regarding recent library acquisitions. This is for the regular monthly acquisition list. You will still continue to receive via your iwc email individual notifications regarding status of materials that you request.
