The Make Art Take Art Table is back (I think this is version three)
Express your creativity! Unwind through art! Use our art supplies or your own to create a piece of art to leave here for the next person, and feel free to take a piece of art that interests you left by someone else! Please be considerate of others and clean up after yourself when
you are done.
Enjoy!
 

It's located on the second floor next to the stairs. The 2nd image, featuring Kai, is a throwback to the space set up before the renovation.

In this video we sit down with Dean Evan Boyd to discuss his role on campus, the role of the modern library, and where he wants the library to grow in the future.
