Travels With CLICK

Where is CLICK this month?

He was visiting the Technical Services Department of Central Campus Library. He loaned his hat to Lula Andrews.

Lula does lots of behind-the-scenes work. She places covers on the books and is responsible for making the books look beautiful for their check out "dates."

She has an fantastic green thumb and helps take care of all of the plants in the Central Campus Library. AND she is a great cook!

This Will Make You Hungry!

Velma Jackson, Circulation, created this display called "Cooking for the Holidays." The display is very festive and will definitely make you hungry when you see all of the great pictures and books.

And while you're at it, check out one of the books!

You've Been CLICK'd!

There's never a dull moment in the library's MultiMedia area.

Here, Linda Colbert, Head of the MultiMedia area, juggles working with videos and handling a phone call.

Visit Linda or any of the media staff on the 4th floor of the library. Ask them what they do. Ask them their opinion of life. You can even ask them what they think of the Carolina Panthers' chances of making the playoffs.

We do not guarantee any answers, though.

Behind the Scenes in the Library

Located on the 4th floor of the library, hidden in the back corner, lies the mystical Technical Services Department.

Ever wonder what's behind the closed doors of the 4th floor. Here's a sneak peek.

What exactly do they do? Too much to say, but one of the most important is buying and processing all of the library books at every campus. From start to finish, this busy group works hard to get books into your hands.

A Bear-riffic Display

Marcia Addison, the libraries' own Assistant Director for Technical Services, created this month's display that celebrates the history of the Teddy Bear. The display consists of her own personal collection as well as library books that are available for check out.

Stop by and relive your childhood!

A Party for Teddy

A friend to children, adults who think they're children, and Presidents alike.

Happy Birthday to the Teddy Bear!
