Contest Announcement: Celebrate Ireland's National Holiday (St. Patrick's Day) By Showing Off Your Library Skills!

Stop in the Library and check out the March display case featuring Irish things -- some have a Niagara University connection!

Then grab a "March Madness Quiz" at the Reference Desk and answer five simple questions correctly. All of the information in the exhibit can be researched using NU Library reference materials including books, databases and the Internet.

You'll be entered to win a gift certificate to Jazzman's Cafe' in the Gallagher Center ... just in time to beat the winter blahs and catch the spirit of the Purple Eagles as we soar into spring!

May the luck of the Irish (and the force) be with you!

The winner will be drawn on Friday, April 1 and will be announced here and on the Library's home page.

This contest is open to Niagara University students and employees. Library staff members are ineligible.
