In the library, we like books and movies. Some of us also like cheesy internet promotions that combine Shakespeare and Star Wars. For a minute or two of fun, check out the Star Wars Sonnet Generator. Have at-eth it! (Now that you know-eth of these tomes, do you need-eth a copy? Ask or email the library about interlibrary loan, and we can get you a copy to check out. Forsooth!)
It's July! That means it is time for pie, unbearable heat, and a fresh crop of books to read! Bonus: we're giving away FREE BOOKS in the library right now. They are on a cart next to the entrance. We're adding new ones all the time so even if you stopped by before, come check again.

The purpose of this survey was to get honest and focused feedback from those who serve as instructors. Because moving to a new learning management system can bring up all different types of reactions, we wanted to make sure instructors had an opportunity to voice their

October 1-7 is Banned Books Week. With the increase in challenges to libraries and school systems to limit access to reading materials, the Durham Tech Library feels it is more important than ever to mindfully reflect on the power that stories have to empower and educate.
