Summertime at the Libraries

Iowa Private College Week, the first week of August, kept the Grinnell College Libraries especially full of activity and the energy of prospective students and their families checking out what the College has to offer. Many groups have toured Burling and Kistle libraries this summer during visits to our beautiful campus - viewing the Libraries’ collections, technology, and study spaces. No matter the season - it’s always a pleasure to meet potential Grinnellians!

August is already halfway gone, and faculty and staff across campus are preparing for the annual late-August influx of Grinnellians from all over the world - Grinnell’s new and returning students begin arriving early next week! And what have the Libraries been up to since the academic year ended in May? Returning students and faculty will find a renovated Burling Lounge and Peer-Mentoring & Group Collaboration Space, a re-designed Web site, and new electronic resources. Check here for more information in the coming weeks!
