The Pursue Wonder project picks up again this February with President Robin Baker. Check out his thoughts on the library blog at https://buff.ly/42oVUqc !

*Here at the George Fox Library, we're invested in the virtue of wonder. Our collections connect us to the wonders of the world and inspire us to ask new questions every day. We hope to teach students to engage with wonder as they ask good questions and pursue truth. We also love being connected to the work and expertise of George Fox faculty and administration, and we are thrilled to continue the Pursue Wonder Project, a monthly feature with scholars from across campus to see how they connect wonder and hope to their work as teachers, administrators, and educators.*

Brrr.... it's cold out there Bruins! With the University closed for the weather, Murdock Library will not open today. The 24-hour space is accessible via ID card, and research help is available online.

Stay safe and warm out there! We'll look forward to seeing you back in our main spaces later this week.

It's that time Bruins! Get away from the rain and find some space to study at the library. When you're ready for a break, grab a cup of coffee and a puzzle or coloring page, all on the main floor of Murdock.
