On Northwestern’s first Day of Learning in Community, Ramaker Library is hosting two sessions of its own:
Now, in reality, there is nothing routine about libraries. They are places of discoveries and adventures, adventures in the life of the mind. Thus, it is fitting to set a mystery in a library. The notion of a mystery in a libray symbolizes the reality that behind the quiet and seemingly placid state of affairs there is much that is not ordinary or routine as readers encounter the world of knowledge and ideas.
We look forward to hosting these sessions, and we welcome your participation!
Minding Place – Day of Learning in Community
