Fall Schedule Update

Due to a sharp drop in activity in the building on Saturdays, the library has decided to discontinue its hours on Saturdays until further notice. They will be continued when more in-person classes and events resume in the building. Reminder that we are ALWAYS available to assist with research and other queries by email at library@education.edu or by filling out our contact form. If you need computer or printer access outside of library hours you may utilize the Center's Computer Lab.

This Month's Book Display:

Democracy in Action

"If voting didn't matter much, foreign governments wouldn't try to influence it. And if voting didn't matter much, we wouldn't see efforts in America to make it harder for certain people to vote. Your vote does matter."

~ Kim Wehle, What You Need to Know About Voting--and Why

With the General Election fast approaching, this month the library is featuring titles on the importance and history of voting, civic responsibility, and democracy in America.

The library also has pre-printed voter registration applications, absentee ballot request forms, and election fact sheets still available -- just ask at the circulation desk. And a reminder that you can also register to vote, check and update your registration, apply to vote absentee, find your polling location, and learn what will be on your ballot by visiting elections.virginia.gov.
