Mixed media artwork featuring a tree made from paper decorated with eyes and other images painted with coffee.

On view on the library's 1st floor is “Roots of Hope Through Tinted Lenses,” a mixed media artistic work by USC Upstate students, created as part of Network8's “Treedom Project.” This initiative focuses on child advocacy and raising awareness about imprisoned children worldwide. The Treedom Project uses the symbolism of trees to represent children growing in adverse environments, while aiming to nurture hope, demand justice, and call for an end to youth imprisonment.

Stemming from Network8's “A Cup of Knowledge” painting session, the artwork employs coffee as a medium of expression.

     Halloween is upon us and the Display Committee has a brand-new display themed around the spooky season. To get in the Halloween spirit our display will be highlighting materials in our library collection that focus on horror, trick or treating, and the holiday in general. For the next couple of weeks, the display will be highlighting children’s book about Halloween, and we hope that students and patrons will enjoy seeing them and check them out for personal use. When we get closer to October 31, the display will transition to horror movies from our collection. We hope students and patrons will enjoy these DVDs and check them out as well. The committee also encourages everyone to scan the QR code at the display because it will take you to a LibGuide that contains all the material our library collection has on horror and Halloween. Gives everybody more options in case they do not see something of interest on the display itself. If you miss any of these items while they are available on display before October 31 do not fret. The Halloween display will continue for two more weeks in November before we transition to the winter holidays. Happy Halloween!
