Look what #TeamHPL found in one of our drop boxes recently! HPL originally had this book on its shelves in 1980, and was last checked out on December 13, 1993.
A new edition was printed in 2009.
Welcome back home, lost one! #HamOnt
God morgon Marauders!
We'd like to propose a new tradition here at Mac this fall.
It's been going on at Stockholm University in Sweden for decades.
Every Tuesday at 10pm, students go outside & scream out their stress for a few minutes.
Think about it.

They may need a good dusting but the standing desks are still around and like the rest of us, are waiting patiently for our reopening on September 7.

Happy Friday!
As you begin the transition from work week to weekend, a reminder to take stock of the important people around you.
The ones who help you get through life and give you reasons to smile.
Take a moment today and let someone know what they mean you.

They'll be expecting you.

Happy Friday the 13th Marauders!
Serious question.
How can today be a harbinger of bad things when it happens on a Friday?
Monday the 13th would be terrifying.
Enjoy your day!
