GSO Urban Ministry Food Drive

Hello Spartans!


The UNCG campus is conducting a food drive for the Greensboro Urban Ministry through September 26th.

There's a donation box on the 1st floor of Jackson Library across from the Check Out Desk.


As you can see from this blog post their cupboards are bare and they are not able to provide assistance to needy families. Sadly, food insecurity plagues 23% of our community. Give what you can!

Free Summer Entertainment!

Summer is a good time to remember that the Libraries are not just about research and course readings!  We have several collections to help you enjoy summer:

  • An extensive DVD collection including comedy, drama, action, TV shows and family fare.  You may check out 2 DVDs at a time for one week to help kids through those long drives.
  • A "Current Literature" collection with recent fiction and non-fiction. (beach reading!)
  • Don't have that DVD player in the car yet?  We have a great selection of audio books on CD.
The above collections are all on the first floor of Jackson Library.
And there's more: 
  • Schiffman Music Library in the Music Building has a wonderful collection of CDs.  You may not find top 40 there but plenty of classical, jazz and musical comedy.
And we have great online collections, too, available 24/7 to anyone with a UNCG ID.
 
Happy Summer!
