On Aug. 22, new and returning students are invited to take an inside look at the Mary Idema Pew Library on the Allendale Campus to start planning late-night study spots and learn about what the library has to offer.

This self-guided tour includes six different photo opportunities that will guide students throughout the four floors of the library. The tour will end with a demonstration of the Automated Storage and Retrieval System, also known as the book robot, where students can pick up a prize after the expedition.

At the end of the tour, students can stop at the service desk to start the tour during all open library hours from Aug. 22 to Sept. 2. The library’s hours can be found at www.gvsu.edu/library.

Young Flint Speaks exhibit at GV

Surrounding the Flint water crisis, many local news organizations and citizens have voiced their concerns on the condition of the water and its community. However, despite the age difference, the students of the Linden Charter Academy are also speaking up.

On Aug. 22, located at the Blue Wall Gallery Richard M. DeVos Center in downtown Grand Rapids, the Young Flint Speaks exhibit will be open to the public.

During the winter 2016 semester, GVSU graduate student Stephanie Smedley worked with middle school students in Flint to document their experience of the crisis through artwork.

The exhibit will be on view at Grand Valley State University until Nov. 3. The gallery is free and open to the public. Visit www.gvsu.edu/artgallery for more information.
