Tuesday, January 29th, 2019
12:00pm – 1:00pm
Beaverbrook Room, Harriet Irving Library

Phil Hall is an award-winning poet with many books to his credit, most recently: Guthrie Clothing: the Poetry of Phil Hall – a Selected Collage (2015), and Conjugation (2016). He is also a visual artist, working in collage. His art exhibit Cut & Past is on display at the Harriet Irving Library until February 1st.

Good news!  The Wiley/Blackwell Reference Online Collection has recently completed its migration to a new and improved platform and now provides users with instant access to numerous full-text, academic reference titles including Blackwell companions, handbooks, dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Please note, this is no longer a discreet collection.  Users are not able to land on a webpage and view only a list of titles or access only the Reference ebooks, but will now see all Wiley Online Library materials, journals and other select titles we have purchased,  mixed together.  However, ALL 500+ titles, regardless of the collection, can be found in the eBook search.

Congratulations to Eileen Wallace, founder and patron of The Eileen Wallace Children’s Literature Collection, on her Investiture into the Order of New Brunswick. This well deserved honour recognizes Eileen’s profound and lifelong impact on both children’s literacy and the preservation of children’s book culture in New Brunswick.
