Library Fights Distracting Technology in Assembly

As a part of its new series of PSA’s in Assembly, last Monday the Patrick Wilson Library offered a message to the MBA student body about the importance of embracing the comfort and simplicity of physical books.  After hearing about Lane Smith’s new childrens book It’s A Book and seeing the book trailer online (available on the book’s Amazon page here), we thought it would be fun to read the entire book to the students during assembly as a fun but simple way to explain that, while an electronic device might have its own user-friendly appeal, books are the oldest and most valuable resources that we have. Now, hopefully, everybody on campus will be saying what Lane Smith makes famous: “It’s a Book!”.
