Thank you to all the RVCC students who came to the library and visited with our therapy dogs during this past year! Thanks also to the volunteers at Creature Comfort Pet Therapy, for bringing these wonderful animals to our campus. We are looking forward to having the dogs visit our library again in the fall!

Congratulations go out to RVCC Library staff member Donna Ignacz, who completed her first ever Boston Marathon earlier this week! Donna ran the race along with her son John (pictured), who was running in his second Boston Marathon. Donna finished the 26.2 mile race in an impressive time of 03:46:20. Way to go Donna, you made all of us at the library proud!

Come to RVCC on Wed Apr 8th for a free screening of the acclaimed and inspiring documentary "The Librarians". Local area librarian (and one of the film's stars!) Martha Hickson will be here for a Q&A after the screening.

Just in time for the coldest weather of the year - the library is giving away FREE winter hats to any student who needs one! The hats are on display on the wall near the main entrance doors of the library - help yourself! (Only 1 per student please.) Special thanks go out to RVCC library staff member Kathy Tenzer, as well as former library staff member Abbe Mulroy, who generously donate their time (and their knitting expertise!) to make these warm hats available for our students who need them!

Stop by the library all this week for a relaxing study break. We've got puzzles, games, crafts, tea, and snacks... and even a hot cocoa bar! Our "Relaxation Station" is a great place to de-stress during finals. It's open now, in the library classroom located on our main floor.
