The Children's Blizzard of 1888: The Advent of Communicating Meteorology

The Wortmann family of Crofton, Nebraska wanted to express its gratitude to USD Libraries for assistance and resources. It was announced this week that Sophia Wortmann and Rylie Arens won first place in the Nebraska National History Day contest for their Junior Group Performance Project entitled "The Children's Blizzard of 1888: The Advent of Communicating Meteorology." This project was created in no small part with materials and oral histories from USD. This is the second time in three years that a member of the Wortman family has won first place for Nebraska's contest using, in no small part, USD materials. On to the national competition!

Library Renovations - 2nd and 3rd Floor

Many of you have noticed that the upper floors of the library have changed a lot over the past few months. This is especially noticeable on 2nd Floor where almost a quarter of the 3rd Floor collection had to be moved downstairs. Starting May 10th, an extensive series of renovations will be beginning across the library. Normally we would do book shifting, shelf building, etc. during the summer to minimize disruption, but due to the timeline, we have had to work through the Spring semester.

Part of this project has included the relocation of about half a dozen tables on 2nd Floor. Their locations - and much of the furniture arrangements - are temporary and part of a larger project that will include updated seating and study options on both 2nd and 3rd Floor. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes as we head into Finals and ask for your understanding as we work to meet renovation deadlines.
