Curriculum Library to offer casual reading

Seven popular children’s magazines are expected for Fall Semester 2009 at the Curriculum Library of Guillermin Library. Patrons who visit the curriculum department may use its resources to support class research, to broaden family homeschooling, or to engage the trends for children’s ministry focus, just to name a few. If you are interested in children’s education or ministry, these titles will enrich your study.  The newest issues will be on display in the curriculum department; older issues will be located in the main periodicals collection’s compact shelving. (Look for the Periodicals Room which is near the Quiet Study Room on the first floor of Guillermin Library.)  Visit the Curriculum Library this fall!
