We asked folks in the library what they are thankful for this holiday season:

“To go home for Thanksgiving” – Catie Pescitelli, Book & Bean

“A break from school!” – Sarah Rhodes, Coe Library Circulation

“Pumpkin pie” – Rick Fisher, library patron

“The love and support of my family when I transitioned to life in Wyoming” – Lona Madhak, Libraries Administration

“Family, friends, colleagues and lower fuel costs!” – Jim Honour, WY liaison, National Network of Libraries of Medicine

“Healthy grandchildren.” – Jenny Garcia, Reference Librarian

One of the best-kept secrets at UW Libraries is our collection of cookbooks. They are located in the Library Annex, found generally in the call number range TX643-840.

During the holiday season, take a look at classics, histories, and regional approaches to your cooking. If you don’t see what you want at UW, you can also order cookbooks from Colorado libraries via Prospector. Happy cooking!

The big shift of our book collection in Coe Library from the East side of the building on Level 3 to the West side on Levels 2 and 3 is complete!  The maps and directions will all be up to date by Monday and we hope to take the guesswork out of locating call numbers.
