Really desperately trying to milk my school for all of its social media value huh

The Barnard Library is changing with the times and as such, we’re now on SnapChats (@BarnLib)! Pictured above is a sample of the quality content you can expect to find on our snapchat.

What does this mean for the Barnard Library Tumblr?

Well, we’re going to be posting the most on Instagram, updating everyone on events and changes in hours on Facebook, giving sneak peaks into the behind-the-scenes life of the Barnard Library on SnapChat, and using this Tumblr when we need a longform platform.

With the 2016 Commencement of Barnard College fresh in our minds  (a big and bittersweet congrats to all the 2016 grads!! We’ll miss you, come back and visit, alumnae are welcome always at the Barnard Library), todays throwback Thursday is Commencement-themed.

The top photo shows a group of newly-graduated Barnard students cheering their heads off in 1972.

The lower photo pictures our now gone Lehman Hall, with Elena Alvarez receiving her degree in front in 1982.

Thanks to the Barnard Archives for the photos, and thanks to the Barnard class of 2016 for being such amazing people.

 t's that time of the year again... With exams looming and papers upon papers stacked on your desk, it's easy to forget to wind down for a little bit. Don't worry though, we got you: on Wednesday, May 4th, Stressbusters will come to the Barnard Library in the LeFrak Center from 6 to 8 to provide free back rubs to any and all who need it.

We’ll also provide snackage and hot bevs (obviously), and you'll have a chance to snag one of our leftover Millie-shaped cookie cutters from our cookie party last month. This is the same night as our Women in Rock and Metal event, so stop by early before heading to the panel!

Come decorate a sugar cookie with your favorite librarians! On April 18th from 6–8pm, we’re hosting a cookie party with Millie the Bear-shaped confections and myriad frosting and sprinkle options (glasses of milk provided, of course).

Kosher, GF, nut free, and vegan options will be available, courtesy of our baker-in-residence (and Performing Arts librarian) Charlotte Price! You can also take home your very own Millie-shaped cookie cutter at the end of the night. Check out the Facebook event here!
