From Print to Digital

WSSU library’s history and impact to be discussed on April 19, 2013 at 2:00 p.m. in the Anderson Center’s main dining room, WSSU Campus. 

 

The C.G. O’Kelly Library staff will celebrate National Library Week by hosting "From Print to Digital: A Discourse on Library Services at Winston-Salem State University". This free event will be recorded and used to produce a comprehensive documentary about WSSU library services. 

There are many engaging bits of library history waiting to be discovered! Alumni and former staff members are encouraged to think about and share memories of their time at ‘TC’ or ‘SU,’ and that will prompt lively discussions.

For additional information contact the library director’s office at 336-750-2442, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Visit http://bit.ly/ptdbrochure or http://bit.ly/ptd2013
