You can help those who need it in our area by donating blood at Wednesday’s bloodmobile here on the MUH campus. Sign-up sheets are available at Rentschler Library and in the Office of Student Affairs (130 Rentschler Hall), so can count on getting in during the 10am to 1pm timeframe that the bloodmobile is here.
You can learn more about donating blood at the Community Blood Center’s website–you can also schedule individual appointments online if you are not able to make it to campus on Wednesday.

If you already knew that Beyonce hauled away six prizes this year, then you may care just a little bit about music. Or learning about music. Or learning about pop culture.
Rentschler Library has some kickin’ resources on Music stars, genres, and philosophies for everyone’s tastes. Whether you’re into Country or Rap (or both??),–or more of a classic Jazz lover–you may be surprised to find that there’s more “behind the music” than meets the ear. Check out our recommendations below to get started, or ask a library staff person to help you find resources on your favorite artist.

Join the Hamilton community reading an American classic–John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”–& you’ll be joining the entire nation during “The Big Read”. MUH & the Hamilton community have a lot of opportunities for you to get involved & enhance your reading experience, whether by learning more about the history of the Great Depression, the plight of immigrants, or just by sharing your own interpretations (of course, you’ll need to hear what they thought, too!).
So, pick up YOUR free copy here at Rentschler Library! We also have audiobooks in playaway format that you can check out for 3 days (if you prefer to listen to the book). Check out the full Calendar of Events, of learn more about The Big Read.
Well, most of us may be too young to REMEMBER Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take some time to remember the impact his life–and death–had on this country. You won’t have classes this Monday, January 18th–and the library will also be closed in honor of the national holiday–but you can still take a little bit of time to learn something.
Or, grab a book to take with you this weekend. Rentschler Library has 47 Items by or about King. We also have many books on Civil Rights in the 60’s that you may find interesting. MUH’s Multicultural Center will be hosting a variety of programs to honor Martin Luther King, Jr–check out their flyer of events for more information.
