UNCG Libraries Research & Applications webinar next week on “Non-Traditional Library Spaces” on Monday March 20th at 12pm by Rachel Olsen.

Description: When people think of libraries they most often think of books and silent studying. This session will discuss some of the many “non-traditional” spaces that the University Libraries have to offer as well as tips and tricks for making the most of those spaces. We will briefly discuss each space and review policies for using the area, and there will be plenty of time for questions.
