Welcome back!

It's the first day of the fall term and the library is already bustling with students!  This is the library staff's favourite time of year... we love to see the space full of new faces and students we haven't seen in a while.

A lot is new this year.  Most importantly, we have new hours:

Monday to Thursday: 9am to 9pm
Friday:                       9am to 6pm
Saturday & Sunday:   1pm to 5pm


Some of you might be surprised to see Linda Finn in the library.  She was only on loan to ACM last year and we're happy to have her back.

We have received lots of new materials over the summer, including a large addition to our film collection.  We also purchased some moveable white boards that you will notice around the library... use them!  We have markers, erasers and cleaner... just ask at the desk.




What's really exciting for us is a brand new scanner, and it's great!  No need to log in to any computer... just press one button and the images get saved directly to your USB memory.  And thanks to the overhead camera, you can take scans of almost anything - not just books!  I've already used it, and it's fun and easy to use.

There will be a lot happening this year at Musagetes, so keep and eye on the blog or follow us on Twitter.




For those of you who were not around this summer, the 2A class put on a spectacular play called Ilion, their take on the legend of Troy.  You can watch the whole play on YouTube, starting with part one:
