Bookworms are real

Here are some fun facts I learned this week: bookworms are a real thing, and Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” came out in 2002.

The Countdown Begins

Hello blog, and happy Monday!    It was a beautiful spring day in Massachusetts today, and while I spent most of it inside at the Computing Help Desk in Clapp Library, I have managed to get outside quite a bit in the past week.

Lip Sync Champions and Other Snapshots from a Week Well-Lived

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the event, Lip-Sync is a twice yearly competition held by Wellesley’s House…
