In the Good Old Summertime...

While many of the students who use Morton Library are having wonderful experiences in field work settings or getting new insights through clinical pastoral education this summer, we're already working hard to have many new things ready when you come back in the fall.

In the IRC, we have increased student help in the summer to help move our cassette conversion project along, so we hope to have a new range of compact discs ready for circulation by September. This is a period when lots of new fall curriculum comes in and Norma is busy getting that ready for your use in classes and church settings when you return. We're all updating our patron databases to make sure that our new Library access policies effective July 1 work as smoothly as possible. And we're two days away from a new budget year that gives us access to funds necessary to keep the collection growing.

And just so we won't forget the reason we're here, we've been glad to have the energy of the ECP students on campus for two weeks and look forward to welcoming our new language students in a few days. You remind us that even though the daily schedule may look a bit different from fall and spring terms, there are always students and faculty to serve and we're grateful to be a small part of your learning experience here.
