I can't believe it is February already. This month is filled with many great sporting events (Super Bowl, Winter Olympics, NCAA basketball) and the birthdays of many cultural figures such as Langston Hughes, Jules Verne, Judy Blume, Art Spiegelman, Sidney Poitier and Wilhelm Grimm (the younger of the two Grimm Brothers). The weather in February is also generally pretty miserable. In fact, the National Weather Service is already forecasting a wintry mix for this weekend, and other sources have indicated that we could be hit by two more storms before Valentine's day!
Inclement weather can cause great stress for students who rely on the library to complete their assignments. Fortunately we have a number of great online resources you can access from home via our website and google documents has their own version of word which will allow you to write papers in the event you do not have Microsoft office installed at home. It is true that none of this does you any good in the event you either don't have a computer at home or don't have high speed internet access and we wish that we could do more to help in that regard.
Keep in mind that the public library was open during the last snow storm and if you could get there safely they do have computers you can use.
Stay safe everyone. Email your instructors ahead of time if you don't have internet access at home to explain. Stop by today while the sun is still shining and pick up books or other resources for the weekend. Maybe it will be nothing. Maybe it will turn into a snow-pocalypse. We don't know. A little planning never hurt anyone though.
