Arnold Bernhard Library at Quinnipiac University

Tomorrow is our second book discussion event! We'll be playing the board game "Bring Your Own Book" so bring a book or use one of ours!

Join the ABL Book Discussions this semester! This would be a very laid back and relaxed setting to just talk about books. You can participate as much or as little as you want. If you want to just sit in and listen to the conversation, that is okay too. Nobody is required to read a book or to come to every discussion.

Our goal is to bring people together who enjoy reading and want to share their love of books and stories with other readers!

Escape the Storybook! https://lnkd.in/g5uePicZ
The Arnold Bernhard Library (ABL) is hosting an escape room this Halloween. Escape the Storybook is a fairy tale themed escape room with puzzles that are perfect for Halloween fun.

There will be four sessions of this escape room, each capped at 6 people. There will be prizes for all who participate and everyone will be entered into a grand prize raffle. One winner will be drawn for the raffle at the end of the event so you can collect your prize before you leave.

Registration is required ahead of time. If registration fills you will be added to the waitlist. We ask that if you cannot make it to please cancel your registration so that those on the waitlist can be invited. If you are on the waitlist and a spot opens up, you will be notified via the email you used to sign up for the event.

Walking into the ABL this week students and faculty are hit with a reminder of those lost, and most never found, in the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago. One of the pillars in the ABL entranceway is transformed into a mock telephone pole with reproductions of real missing posters. In the standing cabinet we have a memorial of recovered steel from the World Trade Center engraved by artist Bryan Hunt. Recollections from alumni Mark O’Hare ‘13 from age 11 in his 5th grade class shows the weight of the attacks on young children as well. Several comic books, newspapers, and other media he collected were donated in his memory are are also on display.
