Write-In at the Writing Center

Adopt-a-Book
One of our holiday decorations is a Christmas tree festooned with book jackets of our acquisitions over the last year. If you “adopt” one of those new books (read it over break and write a short review), we’ll dedicate it to you or a loved one and publish your review on our website after the break.  Contact libraryreference@hendrix.edu for more information.

Jane Austen Collection Highlight
In honor of Jane Austen's 250 birthday (Dec 16, 1775), the library has pulled out a mini-collection of resources by, on, or relating to Jane Austen.  The collection is located in the second floor rotunda display shelves, and will be displayed through fall semester.

Academic Assistance

• There are several places where you can find help with your classes: the Learning Commons & Reading Room (on the library side) and the Computer Lab & Seminar Room (in the Snoddy Center). Hours span Sun-Thurs evenings. Find places, subjects, and hours soon on the Peer Assistance website.
• Writing Associates are available in the Writing Center to help with any writing endeavor!
• Need some help starting that research paper?  Book an appointment with a librarian!

Manga & Graphic Novels Collection Highlight
Check out our new featured mini collection of Manga and graphic novels on display behind the Reference Desk. Curated by Library Associate Piper Fisherman, this collection reflects some new purchases and titles that were already in our main collection. Please give them some use and have fun with the free coloring sheets!
