5 Reasons To Visit the Rod Library

1. Bash In The Stacks

For the second year in a row, Rod Library held Bash In The Stacks: a fun-filled time to be loud, win cool college student prizes like dryer sheets (so you can stop borrowing your roommate's sheets...) and be entered in to win raffle drawings and possibly for the grand prize, free samples from the Book Bistro, and the chance to meet and interact with different people.


2. Research Help

Stuck on that five-pager for Humanities that's due in two days? Go to see one of the library's research librarians by setting up an appointment or calling the reference desk. (A part of your tuition goes to their salary, so you might as well take advantage of it.)


3. DVDs

Yeah, sometimes there are some things you just need to keep to yourself -- your Netflix password, for example. Have no fear, the library has an extensive entertainment DVD's from "Marvel's Avengers" to "Interstellar" to "The Maze Runner."


4. Book Bistro

Food. Coffee. Pop. 'Nuff said.



AND FINALLY.

5. Books

The Rod Library has over one million books and scholarly journal articles to aide you in writing that Cornerstone paper that's due tomorrow.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
