With summer break well underway, campus has been calm and quiet; the usual hustle and bustle has slowed down significantly. Yet, while it may look still on the surface, a lot of activity continues behind the scenes at Falvey Library.

Over the past few weeks, Falvey has had many book returns and check outs, held librarian consultations, hosted events and meetings, and facilitated the purchase and renewal of vital resources like books and databases to aid in scholarship on campus. There is always careful planning and preparation being made to support academic life at Villanova.

Some of this library activity is highlighted in Find it At Falvey!, our monthly e-newsletter. We invite faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends, to subscribe to this e-newsletter, which features current service hours, new resources, special blog stories, news, upcoming events, exhibits, and noteworthy programs.

We look forward to a vibrant and robust campus in just a few weeks. Until then, please subscribe to Find it At Falvey! here so you don’t miss out on the latest updates!
