Feature Streams: "Medal of Honor" and "Hacksaw Ridge"

Talk to Strangers: A Speed Friending Event - March 28, 2-4pm

Talk to Strangers

Every person has a story.

Every story deserves to be told.

Drop-in to share your story, between 2-4pm on Tuesday, March 28th.

Imagine how much we could change in our communities and around the globe if we could talk to each other simply, openly, honestly. Talk to Strangers allows you to engage in respectful conversations with people you might not get to talk to everyday—people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. Come with an open mind and allow yourself thirty minutes to share your own story and listen to the stories of others.

The first floor of the library will have tables and chairs to hold one-to-one conversations for five minutes, then participants will move to another chair to meet someone new. Questions to start conversations will be at each table. Drop-in for 30 minutes or stay for the whole two hours.

Food will be provided, so stay and continue the conversations. It is a great opportunity to meet new people and find out how diverse the UW-Stout campus really is.

Latest issue of Check This Out now available!

The March 2017 issue of Check This Out is now available throughout the library and here on the blog! Featured in this issue: spring break hours, Talk to Strangers: A Speed Friending Event, and photography and video equipment check-out.

Feature Stream: The Ascent of Woman

This sweeping four-part series, The Ascent of Woman: A 10,000 Year Story, reveals overlooked historical figures and their powerful and permanent contributions to our world. March is Women’s History Month, a time to reconsider the human story with half of us no-longer categorically ignored.  

This title is brought to you by Films on Demand, a key part of our more-than 100,000 title streaming video library.  You can access these, or any, of our titles, anytime, through Your Streaming Videos page.

Feature Streams: "Reefer Madness" and "High"

As marijuana laws are debated across the country, we have two films that have very different views on the issue: Reefer Madness, an ‘adults only’ 1936 public education film, and High: The True Tail of American Marijuana, a critical look at U.S. efforts in the war against pot.
