Bookends: A Library Newsletter | 10/2/2023 |
Welcome to a beautiful (so far) fall quarter at Evergreen. Whether you are a new or returning student, we hope you’ll spend some time this quarter exploring library spaces, using library resources, and availing yourself to our friendly, helpful staff who are working hard to make sure you have the tools and services that you need to succeed as an Evergreen student!
You’ll get these emails from us, periodically, reminding you that we’re here and letting you know about resources, services, exhibits, and events that you won’t want to miss.
The library is open 6 days a week (every day but Saturday) with the following hours:
We also recommend you take advantage of our amazing tutors and services in the Writing Center and QuaSR. Both centers offer the same hours.
Learn more about the Writing Center and make an appointment or book a virtual session online.

The 12th Annual Members' Exhibition is on display at The Evergreen State College Library! This year, the suggested theme is “Collaboration” and illustrates the organization’s efforts to build community throughout the region. Every member of PSBA has the opportunity of displaying a book in this exhibit. The books are created from various materials, including old books, found objects, metal, fabric, etc., and come in many sizes and structures.
Learn more about this exhibit.
On Display in the library until December 15, 2023.
Open Case Event: November 5, 2023 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.
Artist Panel Presentation: TBD
The James F. Holly Rare Books Room has re-opened, and we're spotlighting materials from Walter Hamady and the Perishable Press. Come check it out during our open hours.
Who is Walter Hamady?
Walter Hamady is an influential letterpress printer, book artist, papermaker, and collage artist. He launched the Perishable Press in 1964 and began to publish works that are expertly printed, whimsical, nonsensical, and sometimes tongue-in-cheek. Hamady was good friends with James Holly, the founding dean of The Evergreen State College Library and namesake of our Rare Books Room.
Read more about this display on the library blog.
Come one, come all to our quarterly Writers' Open Mic Night hosted by The Evergreen Library and Writing Center.
This in-person event will be an entirely open mic with no scheduled performers. Show up early to sign in and perform your poetry, music, storytelling, comedy, performance art, or anything you have written. Need special technology or accessibility accommodations for this event? Reach out to libraryhelp@evergreen.edu in advance to make sure we have everything ready for your performance. We will do our best to meet every need.
Save the date: Thursday, December 7, from 5 – 7 pm in the Library Underground.
Ask a librarian, we’re here to help! Library staff can assist students, faculty, staff, and community members at any stage of the research process:
Visit the past to inform the present. Read, hear and view the historical documentation of our unique college. Come by during drop-in hours or make an appointment to view our collections.
The Rare Books Room has been completely renovated. Come in and see our new space!
New equipment to check out at the circulation desk! Along with Chromebooks, we now also have webcams, portable DVD drives, graphing calculators, and noise-cancelling headphones.
Our three media rooms have all been refreshed with new technology, including new 4k televisions, soundbars, and DVD/Bluray/4k players.
We make an effort to purchase all required course materials for all courses. Some of these are in print, some in electronic formats. We can also (often) find print copies from other libraries that check out for the whole quarter; just come in and ask.
Our collection of tabletop games, including board games, story games, and RPGs continues to grow with nearly 600 titles available to check out. Games check out for a week but can be renewed as many times as you like.
Something you think we should have that isn’t already in our collection? Use our Purchase Request Form to let us know and, most of the time, we’ll buy it!
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.
