Respect your body....stay protected

You may have noticed this unusual display on the landing between the first and ground floor of Bailey Library.  For National Condom Week, the Healthy Outreach Through Peer Education (HOPE) is running a campaign during the week of Valentines (February 11-15) called "Respect your body...stay protected".  Bailey Library was chosen as one of the buildings on campus to house their display.  The dress in this picture is made entirely of condoms and will soon be switched out with another mannequin wearing blue jeans and a condom vest.

A Ghostly Gathering

Bailey Library's PR/Outreach Department celebrated Halloween with A Ghostly Gathering on Tuesday, October 30th in the Special Collections room during common hour. 

Author and historian Dr. Robert Watson, the featured speaker, shared tales of Slippery Rock University's most famous specters and apparitions!  The haunting of North Hall by Emma Guffy Miller was a main topic and a slide show presentation rounded out the hour.

Thank you, Dr. Watson, for making this event a success!
