Remember to Return Your Books

Are you graduating this semester? Before you embark on your life post-Emerson, please remember to return all library books and take care of any fines. If you have outstanding overdue books or fines, a hold will be placed on your account and you will not receive your diploma.

You are always welcome to visit the library and use our collections. Once you obtain an alumni identification card you may apply for borrowing privileges. If you have any questions, please contact the Circulation Desk at 617-824-8668 or circulation@emerson.edu.

And congratulations!

Book Recommendation

Please pre-order Chris Onstad's Achewood: The Great Outdoor Fight. And maybe order anything else you can find that he has made. You will not be sorry! Also! A good thing to have would be The Best of Dinosaur Comics 2003-2005 A.D. (a.k.a. Your Whole Family Is Made Out of Meat) by Ryan North

Thanks for the recommendations. We’ll order both books.

Fashion Illustration by Fashion Designers by Laird Borrelli

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll order it for the collection.

Magazine Recommendation

Z magazine

Thanks for your suggestion. The library selects new periodical subscriptions once a year. We’ve already selected titles for 2008, so we’ll request a sample issue of Z Magazine and review it at our upcoming meeting this spring.
