Ask me a question, and you’ll get an answer If I don’t know, I can find who does. Bathrooms are upstairs on the right.

That book you need, I found in the catalog, It’s in the 300s between marriage and slavery.

There’s the manual on how to fix your windshield wipers, And magazines to play your guitar.

That hole in your jeans? Find the Singer machine On Reserve just use your card.

Now, here, take this data to city council It’ll help them build the bike trail.

There’s a class going on In the computer lab where 70 year olds learn to check “email.”

And upstairs there’s a sunny room where The Giving Tree is being read To 20 third graders sitting criss-cross apple sauce with stumps inside their heads.

Also, in conjunction with National Library Week is our Spring Book Sale.

The library has always been a place of unlimited possibilities -- come and help us celebrate all week long! Follow the national hashtag #nlw15 or help us celebrate at SU with #sunlw15.
