Help the OSUM Psychology Club

Each year, the OSUM Psychology sponsors a Marion Campus Giving Tree. The tree contains tags with Christmas wishes from several families they adopt for the holidays.

Trees are set up in Morrill Hall, Maynard Hall and the Library. Please stop by and take a tag or two and help make someone's Christmas a little brighter.

All wrapped gifts are due by December 9.

The library will be open on Veteran's Day (November 11) but on a reduced schedule.

We will have reduced staffing, also. It is an official holiday for OSUM, but MTC will be in session.

More Displays!!

The library is currently hosting displays on Physics and National Popcorn Month.

Physics is our highlighted science for October as part of our Year in Science celebration. Carol Bowman and Gordon Aubrecht from the OSUM Physics Dept. graciously developed the display. Antique instruments used in experiements are included.

Our popcorn display comes courtesy of the Marion County Historical Society, which houses the Wyandot Popcorn Museum.

Pop by and check them out before the end of the month!!

Is it the Flu?

The season is here - flu, colds, H1N1 scares.

The library and campus are trying to help you stay healthy this year. Hand sanitzers are being installed in public parts of campus buildings as soon as possible.

The library has a bottle of hand sanitzer at the circulation desk. Feel free to make use of it - for eveyone's health!

We also wipe down the computer keyboards each night. We ask that if you are sick - please stay home and get better. Materials can be renewed online or even over the phone if you need it.

Library Headphones

The library has made many changes over the summer that will hopefully better serve the patrons of the library. One of the changes that you might not have noticed is that the library will no longer provide headphones for the computers starting Fall Quarter.

This decision was made for health reasons. With the possiblity of illness spreading rather easy the library staff felt it was in the best interest of all patrons.

We hope that everyone is having a great start to the Fall Quarter and we hope that you will use the library services during the quarter.

Year of Science: Botany

This month, in our continuing celebration of the Year of Science, the library is featuring our local Marion Campus Prairie.



Situated behind the library, it provides a wonderful backdrop of color and interest.


Stop by the library and learn more about what the prairie is all about!

Our thanks to Emily Meyer, Nature Prairie Center Coordinator, for creating the library display.
