In addition to Thanksgiving celebrations and colder temperatures, November is bringing plenty of fun activities to Hassenfeld Library this month.
By Courtney Brown, MS/HS Librarian
November isn't only a time of leaves falling and (hopefully) cooler temperatures. It means some fun activities in the Hassenfeld Library, too. Come by the library to celebrate Native American Heritage Month and check out our book display. We will also have a display centered around Diwali with books and activities.
Library staff will celebrate National Button Day by dusting off our button machine and having students design buttons from Monday, November 4 through Friday, November 8. Get ready for tongue-twisting fun on Thursday, November 14 as we celebrate International Tongue Twister Day. Come by the library, try out a tongue twister, and get a water bottle sticker. There is something fun for everyone this month.

In an inspiring new initiative, USN's health care career spotlight, organized by Ruchika Ramachandran ’27 and Yvonne Wang ’27, brought a wealth of alumni back to the school for an evening of shared expertise and personal stories.
