Today marks Durham Tech's in-person commencement for our 2020 and 2021 graduates. Every graduation represents a great achievement, and this group of graduates had a few more challenges in their path than your traditional graduates. (You know why. We won't speak its name.) Whether you're going into the workforce, transferring to another school to complete an additional degree, staying at Durham Tech to take additional classes towards additional degrees or certifications, or one of the many other
It (probably?) should go without saying that snakes and other pets are not allowed in the Durham Tech Library, but just in case you were wondering, based on a pretty popular news article going around lately, service animals must be approved as per college policy. Snakes are not approved service animals. If you want to know more about snakes and other animals, check out books in call letter S (for some specific domestic animals) and QL (for animals galore!), including some of the awesome picks

For people who read 900 page books, a 500 pager is going to be a brief adventure, right?

What if the audiobook of a short book is longer than 6 hours? Does that count
Despite the fact that sometimes it still feels like April and that yesterday was August 1, the big ol' year that has been 2020 is almost over. What does that mean?

Or maybe I remember The Magic School Bus and then the Futurama tribute episode fondly, both of which were inspired by the 1966 science fiction classic
For a bit of background history on why elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, see this article on NPR. During the 2008 elections Nate Silver began making a name for himself by using statistics to more accurately predict election results. The library has a copy of his book, The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail But Some Don't, available under call number CB 158 .S54 2012. The book provides a fascinating look into why numbers used in elections
