Welcome back to Wheaton and to the Wallace Library, and a big welcome to the new Class of 2014! We've been quite busy this summer and you'll quickly notice a number of changes around the Library.

In addition to our normal reorganizing, painting, and polishing, there are new combination printer/copiers throughout the Library (and throughout the whole campus), which we're hoping will help us to reduce waste and save paper.

We're also very happy to unveil our new Library website -- it's an ongoing work in progress, and we welcome your feedback as we continue to improve and expand it, based on your needs. Thank you to everyone who helped us by taking surveys and giving us feedback last semester.

Finally, we're also very excited to launch a new initiative this year called Reading@Wheaton, as an extension of the conversation we began with faculty last May about the evolving nature of reading in general and at Wheaton in particular. We hope you'll join the conversation.
