READ posters are up!

Remember waaay back in March when we asked you to vote in our poll about which Celebrity READ posters we should get to decorate the Library? Well...it's taken a while due to ordering issues, but the posters are finally here and displayed throughout the building! These are our ten poll winners, along with their locations in the Library:

1. Orlando Bloom/Lord of the Rings--1st floor, near computers west of Circulation
2. Keira Knightley/Pride and Prejudice--1st floor, above McNaughton Collection (leisure reading books)
3. Denzel Washington/Green Eggs and Ham--2nd floor elevator hallway
4. Kelly Ripa/The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe--near entrance to Government Documents/Media Services
5. Hilary Swank/The Freedom Writers Diary--3rd floor elevator hallway
6. Trace Adkins/Gods and Generals--3rd floor west of stairs
7. Anthony Hopkins/The Great Gatsby--4th floor elevator hallway
8. Renee Fleming/Anthology of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales--4th floor near Curriculum and Juvenile Collection
9. Dakota Fanning/Charlotte's Web--5th floor near Monroe Garden Study Room
10. Ewan McGregor/Beatrix Potter: The Complete Tales--5th floor elevator hallway

Be sure to look out for your favorite! And in case you're wondering...yes, we do have all of these books except for Beatrix Potter and The Freedom Writers Diary in the Library. If you'd like to read them, you can look them up in the Library Catalog or just ask us at the Reference Desk.

Complete results of the poll with all 51 posters can be viewed here.
