make art take art on second floor

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!

The Calvin T. Ryan Library has undergone a massive transformation and re-opened in the Fall of 2024. One semester in the Library has become a new hub for students and faculty alike. 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.

Colleagues,
There has been an increase in flyering in the library over the last few weeks, many of which did not include the University's approval stamp. This is a reminder to review the University's posting policy and follow guidelines. 
University of Nebraska at Kearney affiliated individuals and organizations must abide by the University's "Policy on Posting Materials, Display of Signage on University Property."  The Calvin T. Ryan Library currently has a bulletin board near the circulation desk where material with UNK's approved "checkmark" stamp can be posted.  All postings for the library should be brought to the Office of the Dean of the Library for posting. 
Please be aware that flyers left on tables, counters, and other library furniture or in any spaces such as classrooms or study rooms, will be removed and discarded without notice.
Flyers for individual events should have the date of the event and may be removed by library staff at any time after the event is over. Flyers for ongoing events or events with no specific date (such as "every Friday of the month") will be removed by library staff after the end of the semester.
The University's full posting policy can be reviewed at this web link: https://www.unk.edu/about/files/unk-policy-on-posting-materials-on-university-property.pdf
Field is required.
