Come play games to celebrate the library’s brand new “Library of Things” collection! Join us in the library on Thursday, March 2 from 6-9 p.m. to try out a new board game or play a familiar favorite. Pizza and drinks will be provided, and all games and other items in the “Library of Things” collection will be available to borrow at the end of the event.
Our newest collection embraces a broader notion of the kinds of resources libraries can steward for their communities. Games, knitting needles and therapy lamps are among the items that will soon be available to borrow, along with specialized equipment related to the college’s academic programs such as a portable audio recorder (Audio Tech) and a cardiac stethoscope (Nursing).
We’d also love to hear from NMC students and employees about “things” they’d like to see added to the collection. Hope to see you there and bring a friend—the more the merrier!
