In anticipation of the original third floor renovation we have moved books, DVDs, etc. with Call Numbers U through Z to the second floor addition.
Oversize books have been moved to the Reference Alcove.
As always, if you cannot find what you are looking for please ask. We are happy to help.
Call numbers U-Z are relocated to the far size of the atrium, beside the indexes.
The farthest, or last bookcase on the left, is the National Union Catalog.
As you move to the right you will find the Zs, then Vs, and the Us.
After the Us are the indexes, the Georgia legal collection, and the legal collection.
The Oversize book are in the Reference Alcove, located behind and to the right of the Reference Desk (as you are facing the desk).
The first several bookcases are reference books. The bookcases towards the back, with books set on top of them, hold the Oversize books.
Most of our Charlaine Harris books (the ones about Sookie Stackhouse) are checked out at the moment, but we can recommend:
Classics from Polidori, Le Fanu, and Stoker in Three Vampire Tales
Vittorio, the Vampire from Anne Rice, pioneer of the modern gothic vampire tale
Jeanne Kalogridis’ Covenant with the Vampire: the Diaries of the Family Dracul, according to Library Journal “erotic and gory enough for any vampire fan.”
“The lips which will be markedly full and red are drawn back from the teeth which gleam long, sharp as razors, and ivory white.”
–Montague Summers in The Vampire, His Kith and Kind (1928)

Keya Lea Horiuchi’s entertaining and upbeat film Considering Democracy: 8 Things to Ask Your Representative explores the quality of American life as compared to other industrialized nations– and Americans’ awareness of the world outside our own borders.
The DVD is shelved at JK 275 .C66 2008. (if it’s not there yet, ask at the main Circulation desk on the first floor).
One of Horiuchi’s eight questions is about health care in the U.S. and around the world.

At Slate Emily Yoffe explains how online services like Twitter and Google coax us into endless loops of “seeking”– our midbrain neurons respond to those quick connections we make via electronic seeking-and-finding by producing more dopamine (the same neurotransmitter activated when we eat, have sex, or take drugs).
