2. Spotlight on an item for checkout and a collection 

Summer is (almost) here! So, this month's item spotlight is on our hammocks and lawn games like Kan Jam and Spike Ball which are available to check out. Faculty and staff are also able to check them out. To learn more about what we have for types and brands, check out the Equipment guide here.

This month's collection spotlight is on the new book display on the 2nd floor across from the 3-D printer. New books are being added by the day, so be sure to check out if there is anything that interests you. Do you have ideas for books to purchase? Email Melissa Curtis with your requests.
