In order to offer the best services and collections to the Penn State community, the University Libraries are asking library users to provide their opinions on library collections, services and facilities across all Penn State campuses.

Penn State's University Libraries have recently acquired the Charles L. Blockson Collection of African-Americana and the African Diaspora, an important assemblage of some 10,000 volumes relating to African-American, African, Latin American and Caribbean history and culture. The collection is housed in the new Charles L. Blockson Room, on the third floor of Pattee Library, west, and will be opened at 4:30 p.m. Friday, April 18.

The world now knows how much Joe Paterno makes as head football coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions.
