\n\tWrapping up the Comic Book Lounge<\/strong>
\n\tSpecial Collections, Security, and LTS teamed up to create the Ellis Library Comic Book Lounge in the Colonnade during Monday and Tuesday of finals week.  Special Collections staff supervised use of comics over the lunch hour (11-2) each day, and about 40 students used the lounge during those hours. Many students also availed themselves of the refreshments provided .  We noticed some great comments on social media:<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
