University of the Pacific Library News

The Fall 2007 issue of Speaking Volumes is now available for download. Featured content in this issue includes:

• “Highlighting Pacific’s History” (Featured article)
• Focus on Roger Davey
• Literary Cuisine: Not Your Typical Book Club
• Interview with Becky Beal
• And more!

Speaking Volumes is a semi-annual newsletter produced by the library faculty and staff, and published for friends and supporters of the University Library. All issues can be downloaded free of charge.

Once again the library sent a team into the cutthroat trenches of the Stockton Library and Literacy Foundation’s annual trivia bee.  Fortified with an Italian meal and cheered on by members of the library staff and library associates, our team placed somewhere in the top tier.

Pictures of all the blood, sweat, and tears are available at the library’s Flickr page:
