Bookends: A Library Newsletter | 5/30/2024 |
“I look like I am filing catalog cards
But actually I am filing shadows of birds
Someday they will open the trays
And there will be only feathers.”
- ‘Homage to RB’ by Elinor Martin, 1972, from Revolting Librarians
Just a few quick notes as we wrap up Spring quarter. For those of you graduating, we congratulate you and wish you every success! As an alum, feel free to swing by the library and ask about becoming a community patron; we’d be happy to see you!
If you have items checked out from the library, please don’t forget to return or renew them before their due date! You can do this yourself online or by giving us a call at (360) 867-6580.
Read on to learn about Discus tickets, how to contribute to our summer exhibition remembering Alex McCarty, and a reminder to catch our current displays before they are gone forever!
Evergreen Theatre Club's new show this Spring is Discus by Becca Schlossberg! A reimagining of the queer love story of Hyacinth and Apollo. Discus returns long forgotten details to the Greek myth, alongside adding new perspectives, creating heart wrenching exploration of the intersections of love, class, power, tokenism, accountability, mortality, and change.
Tickets for all shows are still available to purchase online, but the library still has tickets to give away for the two shows on Saturday, June 1, at 3pm and 7pm. All you have to do is come by the Library’s circulation desk and ask for them!
After having spoken with McCarty family members, we are going to hold off on this exhibition until the summer of 2025.

Our current Rare Books Room exhibit explores the natural world through the eyes of book artists. We were inspired by the long-awaited return of the Procession of the Species to choose titles that shared the Procession’s categories of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. Selections address themes of social and environmental justice, nature’s ability to promote growth and decay, and humanity’s effect on our shared environment (and vice versa).
On display from April 1, 2024 - June 14, 2024. For open hours and additional information about the James F. Holly Rare Books Room, visit https://libguides.evergreen.edu/rarebooks/home
The Solastalgic Archive holds ephemera of memory, creation, forgetting, destruction, preciousness and transience. Contributions have been sourced from a vast array of people, each asked to consider what connects them to time. Unlike other museum collections, the Solastalgic Archive holds deeply personal items, as well as things that change or disappear over time.
The Solastalgic Archive will be on display in the library through June 14, 2024.
Our book display (near the 2nd floor stairs) is up and features a variety of materials selected to celebrate Pride Month which is coming up in June.
We are the library for all of Evergreen's students, studying at all levels, in all programs and at all campuses. Reach out and we will do our best to help your student experience be successful and fulfilling. We update our social media accounts regularly and would love to hear from you. Otherwise, feel free to email us any time at libraryhelp@evergreen.edu or give us a call at (360) 867-6580.
