The David A. Cofrin Library invites you to enjoy an evening of mini-lectures on the impact John Muir made on history, ecology, psychology and conservation. UW-Green Bay faculty and staff will deliver mini-lectures that will lead attendees into a larger conversation about the importance of Muir’s legacy. Take part in the discussion and enjoy light refreshments on Thursday, November 30th 2017 from 7pm-8:30pm on the 4th floor of the library.

The event is in conjunction with the traveling exhibit “Wisconsin’s John Muir.” The exhibit will be at the David A. Cofrin Library on the 4th floor, and open to the public, November 15 to December 15, 2017.

On display in Cofrin Library, 3rd floor: Come see cardboard chairs constructed by students in Prof. Mindy Wittock’s Art 106 Design Methods class.

Each chair was designed by a group of students with the criteria that it may only be made of 10 or less sheets of cardboard, they could only use craft/fabric glue for adhesive, and it must support a human being.

Students also spent time researching in the library and attended information literacy sessions with the librarians.
