THE GO-TO PLACE ON CAMPUSROESCH LIBRARYWELCOME TO ROESCH LIBRARY — the go-to place on campus to study, write, research and create. Learn your way around the library by going on this photo hunt!TEAM 1You are at the library to study for an organic chemistry exam. Fortunately, the library is open until 5 a.m.! To jumpstart your study session, you might want a snack, a soda, a smoothie or a coffee drink. You don’t even have to leave the building! Find the Blend, our student-run coffee shop, on the ground floor of the library and take a picture of a menu item you might order.Every year during final exams, the library offers FREE chair massages, free pizza, free taxi rides, free coffee and tea, visits from therapy dogs and sometimes a midnight dance party in the lobby. Take a photo of a group member dancing in the first-floor lobby.You’ve written the first draft of your paper, but you would like someone to read it over with you in order to improve your writing and possibly find better research sources. Stop by the Knowledge Hub on the first floor to get helpful feedback. While you’re there, take a picture of the friendly librarian or the student writing/research consultant. They’re here to help, all semester long … no appointments necessary!The library has lots of dry erase boards for students to use for studying and group work. Draw a picture of a bird on one of the whiteboard surfaces on the first floor and take a photo. Erase the bird when you’re done!You’ve been studying for hours. Taking a break can refresh your mind and renew your energy. Check out the art gallery in the first-floor lobby and take a photo of an item on display.Students can check out phone chargers, Kindles, headphones and more at the circulation desk in the first-floor lobby. This is also where you check out books. Take a photo of a group member in front of this desk. SO HUNGRY. Go to the vending machines and microwave area on the second floor (same hallway as the restrooms). Take a photo of your favorite snack in the vending machine.An awesome porch sign in the student neighborhood has gotten noticed, and the photo made the front page of the local section of the Dayton Daily News. Find the Dayton Daily News on the second floor and take a photo of the front page.You took a study break last night and watched Pride and Prejudice on one of UD’s movie channels. You start to wonder what the book is like compared to the movie. Time to hit up the library. Using the library catalog, you search for the title and find out that Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is on the fifth floor (call number: PR 4034 .P7 1949). Head to the stacks (that’s library talk for “high-density shelving units”) and find it in the row labeled 38. Hint: the stacks are arranged alphabetically by the first letters of the call number. When you find the book, take a picture of it.You have a group project you need to work on before class tomorrow. Meet your group by room 501, a fifth-floor group study room. Take a photo of the door.No more procrastinating! You’ve got a major test coming up, and you don’t want distractions. Get some peace and quiet on the silent sixth floor. Take a photo of a group member shushing someone, while being completely silent (shhh!).Your Religion 103 professor assigned a five-page research paper on the Blessed Virgin Mary and art. Lucky for you, the Marian Library on the seventh floor houses the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of printed materials on Mary. Go to the seventh floor and take a photo of artwork in the hallway.Head back to the first-floor lobby. You are done!  Feel free to share your photos, and be sure to tag us,  @roeschlibrary. And, come back anytime.  We’re open late to serve you!
