Soiree des diplome-e-s au Café/Cafe Grad Night This Friday Oct 29!!!

Un message de la GSAÉD...

Voilà encore la célébration mensuelle de notre statut d'étudiants postsecondaires, ce qui vient avec un coût - les frais de scolarité - mais la Soirée des diplômés vous offre une pause en éteindre votre soif.


Alors profitons de ce vendredi avant l'Halloween sombre; venez costumé et recevez double les prestations d'assistance. Ne faites pas comme moi il y a deux années lorsque mon costume était trop épais pour traverser la porte... habillez-vous en ce qui vous permet de dancer aux Motown beats du DJ Brains4breakfast.

A message from GSAÉD...
It's our monthly celebration of our higher education status, which comes at a price - tuition - but Grad night we will give you some respite by quenching your thirst.

So take advantage of this gloomy Halloween Friday; dress up and get twice the benefits of being there. Don't do like I did a couple years ago when my costume was too big to fit in doorways... wear something that allows you to dance to DJ Brains4breakfast's Motown beats.

Librarians Can Do Everything

And in other strange library news...

Are Libraries the Next Big Pop Culture Craze?

Heather Moulaison pointed out this fun article from the blog Monkey See on NPR that explains why there's been so much buzz around libraries lately - from videos, like Study like a scholar, scholar and Librarians do Gaga (both of which generated tons of views on YouTube and have been shared on this blog), to the world's new found respect for nerds and geeks. Plus, who can't get on board with an article that puts libraries and cupcakes in the same category?

"I Write Like"

"I Write Like" is a website featured in a Toronto Star article. The website analyzes writing samples using keywords and gives you the name of a famous author who has a similar writing style as you. Who do you write like?

Study like a scholar, scholar

I love this. You should watch it.

"8 out of 5 dentists say that studying in the library is 6 bajillion times more effective than studying in your shower"

Librarians Do Gaga

Someone comments on this video: "I'm lucky to be married to a librarian. This video is very nerdy in all the right ways." ha ha

Têtes à claques: la bibliothèque

Un homme se rend à la bibliothèque municipale pour y consulter des revues «pour adultes». L'hilarité s'ensuit.

A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette

This blog always makes me laugh. There are some real gems posted here, such as:

Questions, Stupid
You are professionally obligated to tell your library's patrons that "There's no such thing as a stupid question," even though they will always try and succeed at proving you wrong.

Enjoy!

April 22nd - Royal Oak MIS celebration!

Merci tout le monde de votre rétroaction!
We're estimated at just over 20 people now, so I think it is appropriate to say a majority have requested April 22nd or said that either date was good.

Je vous confirme donc tous la date, l'heure et le lieu de la célébration.
We will thus be celebrating Thursday, April 22nd, at 5:30pm
Location: Royal Oak at 221 Echo Dr.

If you would still like to RSVP, please send an e-mail to aesissa@gmail.com

If you would like to donate balloons or help decorate the Royal Oak just before 5:30pm that day, please reply on directly to this post!

On se revoit à la fête!
