Student Events
The library focused on student engagement in
'21-22, hearing that students felt disconnected
due to COVID-19. We increased our events (in-
person and virtual) to help build community
and create connections. We collaborated with
other Chatham departments and student
groups for several events.
Scare the Stress Away Event Series: These events
offered themed crafting time loosely based on
popular horror novels.
A Divine Discussion with Libba Bray’ Visiting
Author Event: The library hosted award-winning
NYT Bestselling author Libba Bray virtually for a
discussion of her YA book series The Diviners.
National Dessert Day & Ghost Stories with the
Archives: This event featured Chatham specific
ghost stories and readings by four award-winning
local horror authors.
Get Sh*t Done: Work Sprints at the Library:
This new program launched in response to
feedback and anecdotal evidence that students
were struggling more with their time management.
