Return of Rex




The library mascot, a small dinosaur named Reference Rex, was missing for 2 months and has finally been located. We missed Rex, as he's the guy who introduces library services and changes we make in the library.




Friend Rex on Facebook to see where he might have been while away from the reference desk.

Be Part of the Natl Day on Writing Event in the Library 10-20-10

Attention All Readers and Writers,

On Wednesday (20 October 2010) our nation celebrates the National Day on Writing. This day commemorates and celebrates the power of prose—all prose. Everything from a profound e-mail sent to you by a friend, to the last paragraph of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Fiction, non-fiction, journalism, comic books, graphic novels—if it’s thoughtful and made an impact on you, come READ!

Here’s where you come in! If you have a short reading (under 2 pages of text) that you would like to share at McIntyre’s Collaborative Learning Center and the University Writing Center’s Breezeway Reading Series on the National Day of Writing, please email Blake Westerlund (westerbr@uwec.edu), Interim Coordinator of the UWC with your name and your chosen text.
