I was required to buy books for my English class, but seeing as how I am a broke college student I didn’t want to spend $100 on books I would probably only read twice. So I decided to go to the library and see if the books that were required were there. AND THEY WERE! The library saved my $100! Thanks :]
that’s one great way to use the library, ashley!

This quiz was a great way to get the freshman more in tune with the library. I did not know any of this until I took this quiz. Great idea!
it doesn’t just help freshmen, ellen!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Library Land Trivia! I remember it from last year and thought it was a fantastic idea. Kudos to whoever thought up this idea.
I <3 the library. I never have to buy books for my classes between the library and textbook rental. Plus the periodicals peeople are amazing!
ummmm… you’re kind of biased, tabatha… 🙂

The Library seems like a pretty chill place! I’m sure I will spend alot of time there during finals!!!
it IS a pretty chill place (literally, it’s frigid in here) – but you don’t have to wait until finals to hang out here. you might want to bring a sweatshirt, though. 🙂

I’m a big fan of free stuff; plus, libraries are pretty awesome; therefore, this whole connest is a winning idea.
libraries, FTW!

Great idea! I’m excited about the contests this year! Thanks!! 🙂
I love this idea! *fingers crossed*
Fun stuff =]
I like the unique questions to help people learn more about the campus, and making life a little more exciting by giving away prizes to students.
Cool quiz helped me learn the library real well
Everyone should take advantage of the library trivia! You learn a lot of things about the library easier and there are many great prizes!
It is fantastic that the library wants to promote silent study, but the loudest and most offensive offender is the library themselves with their **”fantastic”** clocks. If I wanted to hear a beep, click, or any other kind of sound every 60 seconds I can arrange that myself. If I want a silent study I expect it. Lets open our eyes and fix the problem.
thanks for your concern – for the last four months or so, the clocks have been an hour off (until today, miraculously) – at least now they’ll be clicking on the right time. we’ll see what we can do.

Never knew you could rent movies from the library before… thanks.
Cool way to learn things i never knew about the library!
I believe this library contest is a good way to allow students to learn about all of the services the library really has. I learned alot!! Thanks!

Woo Hoo for Trivia Contests!

This quiz gave me information I didn’t previously know about the library!
