New Look!

Last year, students from several classes did projects on the Greenspring library facility and what would make it more appealing to students. One aspect of the renovation everyone agreed on: the library needs to be more colorful. As a result, we are beginning the process of painting the library in bright, lively colors. Let us know how you like it on our Facebook page or post a comment below!

New Fall Hours

Since its opening in fall 2008 the School of Business Library on the Owings Mills campus has been able to offer extended library hours, including 24/5 around-the-clock service starting Sundays at 12:00 noon.

Given these extended hours at the SB Library and and the lack of shuttle service to Greenspring on Sundays, SU's Greenspring Library will not open most Sundays this semester. We will open Sundays during our busiest times around midterm and final exams.
Here are our new hours:

Mon. - Thurs. 8am-10pm
Fri. 8am-7pm
Sat. 9am-5pm

Open Oct. 4, 11 and Dec. 6.

Fall Book Talk Schedule

The Lincolns: Portrait of a Marriage
By Daniel Mark Epstein

The Far Traveler: Voyages of a Viking Woman
By Nancy Marie Brown
Presented by Charlotte Wulf, Adjunct Professor in English
Mon. Nov. 9, 2009
3 pm, Library

“A snappily written biography… In surprising flashes, Gudrid comes into focus. Brown pursues Gudrid out of admiration for a woman bold and wise. I eagerly pursued this book, which is as much about Brown’s adventures as Gudrid’s, for the very same reasons.”
The New York Times Book Review

Outliers: The Story of Success
By Malcolm Gladwell
Presented by Philip Gallagher, Adjunct Instructor in Mathematics
Tues. Dec. 1, 2009

In Outliers, Gladwell once again proves masterful in a genre he essentially pioneered-the book that illuminates secret patterns behind everyday phenomena. His gift for spotting an intriguing mystery, luring the reader in, then gradually revealing his lessons in lucid prose, is on vivid display. – Publishers Weekly
