Can you believe that it is already December? Turkeys have been eaten, football games won, and finals week starts Monday. When I was a student at PBU I always enjoyed finals week, meeting once a week for a class seemed the epitome of all that is good and relaxing about school, that and take home finals.

During this final week and a half of the Fall 2009 semester enjoy your time spent in the library. Bring a mug (covered of course) tea or coffee, your iPod and hoodie to bask in a spot promoted to stimulate your brain to study. All of the resources you need for that final paper or assignment are at your fingertips. Or if you are confused and in need of assistance please use the Ask-a-Librarian IM chat. We want all of our students to finish the semester well.

For those of you who have finished all of their assignments please come and check out some fiction or other light reading. We have some contemporary fiction in the PS section located on the mezzanine floor, as well as a large collection of online materials that you can read from your computers anywhere on or off campus.

Also for your reading pleasure come and check out the books on display. We try to tie in events from around campus with relevant displays of books that coordinate with those events. Currently we have Christian living books dealing with church, prayer, fasting, and all sorts of other Christian disciplines. The side profile focuses on the works of Makoto Fujimura and a Christian perspective on art.

Most of all enjoy this time before you all head home to busily engage in the wonder of the Christmas season.
