Richmond Library Celebrates National Library Week |
|
SU Richmond (Spring 2010) – The Richmond library kicked off a weeklong series of activities to celebrate National Library Week on Monday with free bookmarks that highlighted the theme of the Week – Communities Thrive@your library. 
Activities continued on Tuesday with the start of Ring-Around-the –Databases quiz. Students stopped by the library to pick up quiz cards with four questions that were designed with information literacy in mind. To find the answers to the four questions, students had to go to the library's literature, newspaper, eBooks and biography databases. Quiz cards with all correct answers were entered into a drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card.
On Wednesday students entered a drawing to win mystery books by James Patterson and a South University flash drive.
The week of activities ended with President Troy Ralston drawing names for the National Library Week prizes in the library. Lucky winners were Folole Wang (Amazon gift card), Shaunté Williams (SU flash drive), TJ Snyder (mystery book) and Erick Galkowski (mystery book).
Folole was pleased to win the Amazon gift card and was planning on using it to add to the personal library which she is creating.
Erick Galkowski was planning on taking his James Patterson book on his flight to Arizona. "Hey, it's large print too!" he said.
