Goldstein Fall Events

Reason #2 to visit The Goldstein Library  in the Fall:

by Rob Stephens

You may not know it, but this fall the Goldstein Library will host AMAZING Events that are fun and free -- you might even win prizes! Below is a short list of some of the most exciting events this semester. 

Of course, we can't list everything here , so be sure to follow us on Twitter (@goldlib) or "like" us at Facebook.com/GoldsteinLibrary to get full updates on Goldstein Library events!

Event 1: Banned Books Week, Sept.30 - Oct. 6
Here at the Goldstein Library we believe in freedom of information. As proof, here's an

amazing painting hung in the library  entitled "Information Should Be Free" by our very own Library Director, Pam Doffek:

You might guess, then, that we'll be displaying all our banned books that week, and having some fun times in Goldstein, including a Stump-the-Librarian contest, awesome displays of literature we think you should read that was previously (or is being) banned, and tweets from banned books. It'll be a rockin' time!






Event 2: FREE Coffee Fridays (and other free food...)


YES! Every Friday we have FREE Coffee! Why buy coffee, when you can come get it from us for free? To the right is a picture of one patron taking advantage of Free Coffee Fridays:

As for food: this Friday, August 31, we'll be having FREE PANINIS to celebrate Panini month. Come by and get a hot pressed lunch. And no worries -- we'll let you know whenever there is free food around here!



Event 3: Talk like a Pirate Day, Sept. 19th

Goldstein will change their famous slogan for a day!

Arrrrrg -- yep, you heard right, that's the Goldstein Library's best impression of Captain Hook. Wednesday, September 19th -- mark it on ye calender maties, else ye walk the plank! 

That's right, we're encouraging FSU students to come by the library that day and give us their best pirate-talk. In fact, come dressed as a pirate, for all we care!



Event 4: Clubs/Make Up Your Own!
This semester in the Goldstein, there is some big talk about clubs in the works, in particular: SCRABBLE! and a BOOK CLUB!

GA Rob Stephens will be heading up some Scrabble nights this semester that may just turn into a club or a tournament. 

And several students have been by inquiring about a Goldstein book club this fall, so if you're interested, email Rob at rjs09e@my.fsu.edu. All are welcome!

Also, if you're ever interested in creating your own club or event in Goldstein, shoot us an email and we can try to make it happen for you!
