Painting in Progress

As you enter the library over the next couple of weeks, be sure to check out the works that artist Kevin Raines is creating in the Gallery. Raines, faculty at Notre Dame, is painting two large Maryland landscapes -- right where they'll be installed!

In addition, as the final details of the renovation are finished up, keep an eye out for a different kind of fresh paint in the stairwells.

Archives closed for final move!

The Archives/Special Collections Department of Loyola/Notre Dame Library (including the collections of Loyola College and College of Notre Dame) will be closed to researchers from July 1, 2008 to August 1, 2008. During this time, we will move to our permanent quarters on the third floor of the library; the College of Notre Dame of Maryland Archives will be moved into the new facility as well. We look forward to assisting you when we reopen on the first of August!

After the move, our hours will be the same as usual:

Monday - Friday: 9am - 5pm (preferably by appointment)
Evenings and weekends: by appointment only

Thank you for your patience while we move into our gorgeous new space! For any questions regarding the move or our collections, please contact:

Jolly boating weather,
And a hay harvest breeze,
Blade on the feather,
Shade off the trees
Swing, swing together
With your body between your knees.

William Cory, “Eton Boating Song,” from The Oxford Dictionary of Phrase, Saying, and Quotation. Reference PN6080 .O945 1997

Hot Hot Heat: Readings for an Air-Conditioned Existence

As the Maryland summer starts to heat up, we'll all start to look towards more indoor activities. With that in mind, we’ll continue with the non-required reading (and viewing, and listening) suggestions to consider when you're tired of reality TV reruns and you've seen all the Law & Order episodes ever filmed.

All of these are available at the Loyola/Notre Dame Library, and may also be available at the Enoch Pratt Free Library (don't forget, you can have them delivered to the branch nearest you!) or your local public library system.
