Thanks to all staff and patrons who participated in our Snapshot Day on Tuesday, April 20.

Take a look at our Snapshot Web site to see statistics, comments, photos, and a video that pulls it all together.

Library Snapshot day is an initiative of ALA that, "provides a way for libraries of all types across a state, region, system or community to show what happens in a single day in their libraries."

Be sure to visit two exhibits in the Diehn Fine & Performing Arts Building.

The Diehn Composers Room features “From Pen to Page to Stage: Tune Tones: Music in Animation.” Learn about the importance of music in animation... from award-winning animated features to transitional works that enjoyed success both in film and on Broadway to television animation that relied heavily on music.

The Elise N. Hofheimer Art Library presents “Art in Motion,” an exhibit celebrating animation in its various forms and providing an overview of its history. This exhibit is available in the atrium of the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Center. (fmi, Jessica Ritchie jhritchi @ odu.edu)

Both exhibits will be available through November.

Come visit the lobby of the Perry Library to view the interesting array of books selected by our student assistants. Student assistants are an integral part of the library staff. The library's Student Appreciation Month is April-May. In addition to a special luncheon, student assistants are also given the opportunity to select a book from our general collection and have a bookplate with their name placed permanently inside the front cover. The chosen books are on display in the lobby of Perry Library through the end of May. A special thank-you to each and every one of them.
