Come celebrate the 26th anniversary of the Shores Building and the Goldstein Library!
There's totally going to be free cake, and it's Friday - there's always free coffee, tea, and cocoa on Fridays. And now the library has a blender, so you can make your favorite iced coffee drinks. (For free! Take that Starbucks!)
The GA's at Goldstein are going to rock this building and celebrate. Come talk to us, and we'll totally take some requests for awesome music from online.

Gators are Aweful
Alligators are Awful (And They Have Terrible Manners, Too) by David McPhail
So, some of the Graduate Assistants in the Goldstein Library are from northern parts of the country, and we don’t know a thing about Alligators. We were so relieved when we found this book because it told us everything we needed to know to cope with Gators in Florida. Check out this gem: “They sit in front of you at the movies and never take off their hats.” I mean, yeah I’m jealous that gators look good in top hats, but come on. I want to watch the movie, not some shadow.

National Bathroom Reading Month!
Mr. Archimedes’ Bath by Pamela Allen
Did you know that June is National Bathroom Reading Month? Come into Goldstein to see the sweet display featuring “Mr. Archimedes’ Bath” and other bathroom themed books. Even though they’re in a display case, you are welcome to take them home. It’s probably the closest you will ever come to bathing with a Wombat.
