Library displays

Ever wonder what prompts or inspires the book displays that appear on rotating basis in the Alexandria Campus Library?

It might be a commemoration of historical events, like the Battle of Agincourt, the 600th anniversary of which was on 25 October:

This day is called the feast of Crispian:

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. (Shakespeare, Henry V)

Or it might be in recognition of a national holiday (Veteran's Day, 11 November):

Soldier: A Visual History of the Fighting Man.  U750 G725x

Or promoting a campus event:

The Alexandria Campus Library, with funding from the Office of Student Life and support from teaching faculty and the Academic Success Center, hosted three Networking 101 events on concurrent days (November 10-11-12).
