Comments Off on Studying at Irwin, Butler Finals, December 2010 Butler students took advantage of Irwin Library over the December 2010 finals period. Select “View All” to see if you were caught studying at the library!
Comments Off on Best Books of 2010 in the Butler Libraries Books from the various “Best Book” lists of 2010 in the Butler Libraries include Room by Emma Donoghue, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell, The Cookbook Collector by Allegra Goodman, The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and many others. The recurring favorites on the lists seemed to be A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan, Freedom by Jonathan Franzen (still on order), and The Warmth of Other Suns: The Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson (still on order). Check the Browsing Collection in Irwin Library and the general collections for these and many other “Best Books of 2010”!
Comments Off on Celebrating the End of the Semester, Irwin-Style It wouldn’t be a Holiday Staff Party without the annual Duck Drop contest. You see, having a fountain in your library comes in quite handy for displaying your hand-eye coordination. The “Duck King” this year, once again, is librarian Scott Pfitzinger. Object of the game: throw rubber ducks from third floor down to the fountain; try to throw the critters either in the rings, the smaller fountain, or hit the prize duck! Points are accumulated for successful throws, thus the Duck King or Queen winner. We librarians are too much fun!
First order of business: lunch.
Object of Game: Throw rubber ducks down to cement pond - hit rings or smaller fountain.
The third floor throwing range.
Hit this Prize Duck and earn mega points!
Have a restful and fun break from the staff at Butler Libraries.
