The SLA will be having its annual Valentine's Day bake sale on Thursday from 9:30AM-4:00PM. If you're willing to help out with the baking, send Nicole an email at n.bloudoff@dal.ca.

On Friday, February 8th we will be going on a tour of the Pier 21 Canadian Museum of Immigration. We will be meeting on the ground floor of the Rowe Atrium at 12:15PM. If you would rather meet us at Pier 21, the tour itself starts at 1:00PM. The tour will last until approximately 2PM.

If you're interested in going on the tour there will be a sign up sheet posted on the grey cupboards in the Common Room.

Next Friday, November 30th we will be going on a tour of the special library for The Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women. This will be a great tour for anyone interested in women's studies. Here's a description of the library from the head librarian herself:

"The Library collects information resources to support the Advisory Council's mandate. Our collection covers many issues such as violence, law, health, employment, and poverty. We have materials relating to specialized populations of women such as young women, black, native, immigrant and women with disabilities."

The first SLA tour this year will be happening this coming Friday, November 2nd at at 12:30PM. We'll be going on a tour of the IWK Health Sciences Library and the IWK Family Resource Library. That's two tours in one!

We'll be meeting in front of the Rowe building at 12:30PM and walking to the IWK from there. Afterwards, around 2PM, we'll head over to the Fickle Frog to start Pub Club early.

Welcome back to school everybody! Hopefully this year is as remarkably fantastic as the last. If you're new to the Halifax area and interested in special libraries, check out this map we put together, listing the locations of some of the special libraries in Nova Scotia.
