• Readings at Sims Library is Tuesday, April 10, at 6:30 p.m., on the 3rd floor of Sims Library. Each year, Readings at Sims serves as an entertaining showcase for talented writers on campus and in our community who will read from their original works. The featured writers include Catie Dunlap, Fabian Edwards, Jaina Green, and Matthew Lee.
  
  
• Overdue Book Amnesty Days are (April 9-12) Monday through Thursday. During this amnesty period, students can return overdue books without having to pay fines! Be aware that amnesty does not apply to all library fines and fees. It applies only to books from the circulating stacks and does not include any of the following: outstanding fines (such as unpaid overdue fines from books returned in the past), lost book replacement fees, damaged books, Reserve books, or equipment (laptops, audio recorders, etc.)
  
  

This year is the 60th anniversary of National Library Week and the theme is “Libraries Lead.”
