Masland Library Blog

The library staff has an idea for a new art competition and we need your help to determine if there is enough interest.  In lieu of the Library's participation in the University-wide art competition, it was suggested the Library sponsor a book art competition.


What is book art? 

There are so many types of book art out there and we have included some for you to see here in this blog.  Masland Library's definition of book art is: Art that is either designed or created using books as the main creative element.



Styles?

Sculptures, origami, architecture, and so many other styles can be used.

On Friday, September 7 the Library will be holding a Murder Mystery.  We invite all Cairn Students to join us as we work to discover who killed Dr. Ima Gonner.  There will be food, a costume contest and a chance to have a lot of fun with your friends. 

The Story

Set in the 1940's the World is at War.  But in the midst of a country manor a different drama is playing out.  Professor Digory Kirke (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe) has invited many of the notable names of the era to the party to listen to Dr. Gonner's findings. Dr. Ima Gonner has discovered through her research that much of the literature is not what it seems.  Will she live to tell the tale?  

Meanwhile Father Brown, G.K. Chesterton's famed character, will be on hand to handle any unexpected events of the evening. Please join us for a night of intrigue.  The doors open at 8:00 pm.  Be sure to sign up for teams prior to the event in the library.  Or you can be added to teams still looking for additional players.

8:00         The doors open 80 players can be admitted.
8:00-8:30 Food and Costume contest
8:30         The game begins....
