SCALA along with SLA are bringing you a panel disucssion and recruitment opportunity on Federal Librarianship. Presenters will be:

It's the beginning of a new year,

and a new group of SILSters. We here in SCALA would like to welcome all the newcomers to Chapel Hill, the University, and of course, Manning Hall. If anyone has a question about anything, Jon, Maggie, Wake, Claire or I would love to help. Now get to studying!

I scream, you scream, we all scream. . . for ice cream socials!

The end of the semester bring a relief of no more classes, sure, there are exams, but why not push that to the back of your mind: and enjoy some ice cream. The Student Chapter of the American Library Association offered tired and wore out students ice cream with all the fixin's. Things took a small turn for disaster when the SILS freezer defrosted the ice cream*, but Maggie came to the rescue with more. Here are some images of the grand ol' time had by all.


* - Beware of the Manning/SILS refrigerator, the freezer will not keep ice cream frozen!!
