Library Fall Festival

Tomorrow is the Library's Fall Festival. It isn't a Learning Commons event per se and isn't even focused in the Undergraduate Library. It actually takes place in the Marshall Gallery (aka main lobby) of the main Library building and out front if it isn't raining. It was generated from conversations with librarians who wanted to do something to introduce new students to the Library.

Having spent the day prepping materials, moving furniture, etc., I find myself wondering if these sorts of events generate more than general publicity and good will. Do students get enticed in to the Library who wouldn't have entered before? Or, does the day function more to broaden the understanding of the Library's collections and services for those who are already users but maybe don't know the wide-range of what is offered? Either would be fine with me - maybe it is some of both.

Small invite - stop by, get a frisbee, and have your picture taken with Bob-the-Book!
