TAILGATE @ THE LIBRARY

The Ralph Brown Draughon Library will host its annual open house, “Tailgate @ the Library,” on FRIDAY, AUGUST 29, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.

This open house orientation is a fun introduction to the library for new students and a good way to remind returning students and faculty of the services and staff available to support their research, learning and instruction. As participants visit different areas of the library, there are fun activities that allow them to engage with the resources that are available every day, such as the subject specialist reference librarians, a state-of-the-art Digital Resource Lab, Special Collections and Archives, Office of Information Technology and the Study Partners center.

This year, the event will feature the Auburn cheerleaders, Aubie, an eagle from the Southeastern Raptor Center and the winning car from the mini-Baja competition. There will also be hot dogs and other tailgate refreshments. For more photos of last year’s event go to AU Libraries Flickr steam.
