Celebrate National Library Week and 'Connect with your Library'

Celebrate National Library Week and connect to the Herkimer College Library. Stop by April 4-8 to check out the daily activities.

The week's schedule:

Monday through Thursday - Solve the Murder Mystery, Scavenger Hunt, prizes and de-stress activities. On Friday afternoon, around 1 p.m., campus safety is coming over to "arrest the criminal." Leading up to Friday, students can come to the library, study the board, and submit their guess. Visit the library, social media, or the library web page for the murder mystery clues.

Tuesday - Visit the Library's Facebook, Instagram or Twitter fill in the blank, My Library Connects Me to...

Friday - Drawing of "What the Campus is Reading" contest. Visit the link to enter to win, or stop by the library to see the display and cast your vote.

Herkimer College is also celebrating April as School Library Month with a special book club event: A Conversation on Health Equity.

Students are invited to join faculty and staff for a discussion on “What the Eyes Don’t See: A Story of Crisis, Resistance, and Hope in an American City,” by Mona Hanna-Attisha and participate in a discussion, April 25, on current global issues regarding health equity.

To participate, students, faculty, and staff can sign up at the library circulation desk and receive a free copy of the book. There are a limited number of books available which will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. The Library can also help participants locate other options to read the book. 

The book discussion, A Conversation on Health Equity, will be held 1:25-2:25 p.m. on April 25

in Rooms 282/283 in the Robert McLaughlin College Center. To attend virtually, participants can email Professor Jennifer Herzog at herzogja@herkimer.edu.

Herkimer College’s National Libraries Week: A Conversation on Health Equity is sponsored by the Herkimer County College Foundation, the Herkimer College Library, and the Herkimer College Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee.
