November 2008 Archives

This semester the library is offering a new workshop entitled Maryland Health Statistics. During this workshop you will learn where to find Maryland-specific statistics to get a sense of a community's characteristics, to locate at-risk or underserved populations, or to find out about the health status of a community in the state. This class will provide a hands-on opportunity to search statistics websites.

The Maryland Health Statistics Workshop will be held on Thursday November 13th from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. For additional information about this and other library workshops and to register online, visit the Library Workshops page.

The library has recently upgraded seven study rooms on the second floor. 37" and 42" LCD panels and new tables have been put in these rooms. The tables are outfitted with power and a VGA cable to connect laptops to the LCD monitors. This will allow for small groups to put together presentations or study together effectively.

"A Line in the Sand" is a photographic exhibit chronicling Maryland's fight against domestic violence and the people who have made a significant contribution to fight domestic violence. The exhibit was conceived and organized by the House of Ruth Maryland and features 20 interpretive portraits and essays of people who have been influential in the fight against domestic violence. Fine art photographers from around the U.S. were invited to shoot the portraits that make up the exhibit. The exhibit will be on display in the Library from November 3 through December 1. The opening reception will be held on November 13, 2008 in the Library. For more information about the exhibit, check the Weise Gallery webpage.
