Wednesday: Scotty, the library mascot, turns 18! Scotty was dedicated on April 11, 2000, decorated by Professor Mary Phillips and Library Director Rick Sayre. He's been a popular pig on campus ever since. In lieu of gifts, Scotty is accepting donations for the Warren County Public Library. Stop by for some candy corn and to make a donation, however great or small!
Friday: Library Director Rick Sayre shares what he has learned about our Canopus Stone over the past twenty years, how it found its way Monmouth, and what happened after it arrived. Learn why the Canopus Stone has been considered the second-most important discovery next to the Rosetta Stone for 19th century archaeology!
