Students, faculty and staff are invited to stop by the ice rink from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 23 to learn about library services and resources, and how to access them while the Wallace building is under construction.

- Digital Scholarship services (including Digital Collections, digital humanities workshops, etc.);
- Information Delivery services (including interlibrary loan and Offsite Collections);
- Letterpress printing with the Cary Graphic Arts Collection;
