In This Edition: On Display What's New in the Collection Faculty Resources From the Director Announcements and Staff News	ON DISPLAY: Christian Studies Division What do a super hero comic, a high-priestly garment, and a tongue-in-cheek "Curse of the Day" calendar have in common? They're all student projects featured in the library's current *Bring Your World Into Our World* display showcasing the Christian Studies Division. Stop by to see what your colleagues have to say about their field(s) of study, how they do research, what they require of their students, and what their majors go on to do after they graduate. Enjoy perusing some very clever student works created in response to what they're studying. Take home some coloring pages (from Erika Gebel's Unclean Animals Coloring Book) for the kids or grandkids! The Bring Your World display cases are located in the library's first floor eastern hallway across from the new Technical Support Desk and the newly relocated and expanded Academic Support Center.

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND STAFF NEWS The library's annual Book Sale is going on now through October 7th. The Silent Auction portion of the sale is this week only (ends October 4th)! Dr. Gary Fitsimmons attended the Fall Library Directors’ Meeting of the Bowen Central Library of Appalachia (the library part of the ACA) on September 17-18 in Abingdon, VA. The attendees met with the new Director of Library Programs, Dianne Schaefer, and Irene Burges of the ACA to discuss the structure of the Library Council, current library programs and directions for the future. This cooperative allows the Bryan Library to buy databases at a discount and offers project grants and professional development opportunities for our librarians.	FROM THE DIRECTOR Ah, October—that beautiful month when the leaves begin to change color, the weather changes to cooler and the library changes to—well, the library just changes. Traffic in the library gets heavier as paper deadlines get closer. Events are scheduled in both the ASC open area and upstairs on the second floor that necessitate furniture rearrangement. We will also be adding some new furniture pieces during the month, so be looking for those. My office is now decorated in “Early 20th Century Archives” as Bob Simpson, Tom Davis and I begin to sort through the archive collections to try to make them more accessible. Then, of course, there is our new display: “Bring Your World Into Our World” which will change about three more times during the year. There are a number of other changes planned during the year, so drop by often to take a look around, and as always, ask us if we can help you find any information resources or help you in any way. Thanks for noticing us—and our changes. --Dr. Gary Fitsimmons ANNOUNCEMENTS, continued Library Fall Break Hours: closed Sat-Sun, Oct 10-11 new hours OPEN Mon-Thurs, Oct 12-15, 8:00am-4:30pm, (closed for lunch noon - 1:15pm) closed Fri-Sat, Oct 16-17 OPEN Sun, Oct 18, 7:00pm-11:00pm regular hours resume Mon, Oct 19
