Get Moving with the Library

This fall has been all about transportation, with even more happening this December.

The Annual Student Art Contest is one of the Dallas-Area Rapid Transit‘s most popular events, and this year’s theme is “My next stop is…” Students created dozens of works of art depicting the great adventures you can have on this rail system using conceptual thinking and problem solving skills. Come by Schimelpfenig Library throughout December to see more than 30 works on display, as well as the newly renovated library space!
