Check out the Library of Things Scatter Map that the Massachusetts Library System has compiled for things like museum passes, cookware, garden seeds and home tools.

The Farmers' Market has started back up for the 2019 season. We had some beautiful donations of cucumbers, peppers, squash and eggplant. All of the money collected is donated to the Travis Fund for Needy Animals. The market is located just inside the Library entrance, in Loew Medical Education Center.  

We have gotten some comments in our suggestion box in the past year. I have decided to interpret 'Library' as the entire Loew Medical Education Center building when answering the suggestions.

The week of April 8th is National Library Week. In recognition of this, Tufts Now has stories about each of the Tufts Libraries. The Veterinary Library article features our oldest book (1571, The Rules of riding… in Italian); most popular item (laptops); unusual items; and interesting new books.

We've created a small wellbeing collection, near our comfy chair reading nook. Some of the topics include self-esteem, mental health, financial planning and career planning. Come take a look!

A $10 print subsidy has already appeared in students' JumboCash accounts. The money can be used to pay for printing on any of the Tufts campuses. And another piece of good news... if you do not use your print subsidy by the end of the academic year, it will roll over into the new academic year! Our thanks go to the Medford students for lobbying for this benefit, TTS  and Tufts Libraries for making it happen, and the University for their support.

Dr. Dodman's books have been translated into many languages. When he retired, he cleaned out his office and sent us two boxes of books in Italian, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Dutch, Chinese and Japanese.

The Loew Medical Education Center Teaching Lab is getting a much needed renovation this summer. After a delayed start, work on the renovation finally began last week. The space was gutted. This week they are doing the layout; framing; saw cutting the slab (noisy!); rough installation of the electrical, plumbing and ducts. They will try to do the really noisy stuff early in the morning, before any of us are here.
