Help the Libraries, Help Yourself: Amnesty for Overdue and Lost Books

This May, the UNCG Libraries is changing circulation systems and wants as many items as possible returned before May 16 so that accounts may be cleared before the switch.

To help the effort we are offering  fee and fine amnesty!  From April 24-May 16, you may return Jackson or Harold Schiffman Music Library Lost or Overdue books and pay no fines or fees. No questions asked!

Here's the "fine" print: Fines and fees will only be waived for Libraries books returned during this period. No credit will be given towards fines or fees for reserves, technology or AV equipment, DVDs, damaged items, or on any items returned prior to April 24.

As always, no refunds or credits can be given on items more than 6 months overdue.

If you are not ready to return some library materials, please plan to renew those items before May 16.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact the Access Services Department at 334-5304 or reserves@uncg.edu.

UNCG History on Display

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro: The First Hundred Years, 1891-1991

June 1 - September 30, 2011
Jackson Library Lobby

The Martha Blakeney Hodges Special Collections and University Archives invites the UNCG and greater Greensboro community to witness the birth and development of The University of North Carolina at Greensboro through artifacts, documents, and images from the University Archives. This exhibit tells the story of how a small college, founded on ten acres of farmland in 1891, was able to overcome early setbacks to develop into the large, thriving University it is today. Divided into five eras corresponding to the names under which the University operated, the exhibit highlights important historical events including the Brick Dormitory fire of 1904, the death of founding president Charles Duncan McIver in 1906, and the growth of the College under Julius Foust. It also emphasizes the changes in student life including the introduction of college traditions such as Rat Day, the desegregation of the School in 1956, and the enrollment of male students in 1964.

Beth Ann Koelsch spoke with archivist Sean Mulligan to learn more:

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro: The First Hundred Years, 1891-1991 will be on display in the Jackson Library Lobby from June 1 – September 30, 2011.
