OSGA Corner
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya! Red-bearded, green-clad leprechauns, four-leaf clovers, and pots of gold (or are those potatoes??) pop up every year around Saint Patrick’s Day, along with the green-dyed Chicago river. The holiday, originally celebrated for the patron saint of Ireland, has evolved into an American drinking festivity. To find out more about this historical event, check out the article below:

Women’s History Month Reading List
The librarians in the Traurig Library have compiled this reading list that celebrates women. These books, which are all available in the library’s collections and through the virtual databases, are encouraged reading for all members of our community during the month of March. Throughout Women’s History Month, we are highlighting books by and about women who have pushed boundaries, affected change, redefined roles, or who have complicated our understanding of what it means to be powerful.
View the entire Women’s History Month reading list by accessing this LibGuide – it will continue to be updated throughout the month of March. Visit the Traurig Library reference desk or contact the team at [email protected] with any questions you have about the reading list.
