Happy new year everyone!
1. Four brand new elements were just added to the periodic table - so cool, right? These - as of yet unnamed - elements complete the 7th row on the table. Think you could come up with a good element name? Fans of Terry Pratchett's Discworld book series think they have the perfect name for element 117. Read the petition here and put your name down in support if you agree. |
David Bowie, well known for many things, was also an avid reader and supporter of books. Here is his list of top 100 books, many of which can be found in your Grove library. (And let's not forget Alan Rickman, 1946-2016, did you see the awesome The New Yorker tribute? And this, his greatest onscreen literary moment.)
3. Check out our cool new stuff! We just took delivery of a media scape table (thank you Hillgrove Foundation for funding our grant!!) and it will soon be up and running. You will be able to plug in any device (power right there in the table or remote connect!) and share on the large screen for the ultimate in collaboration. We are counting on our 'special assignment' tech Dan Hoeh* to help us, and you, make the most of this awesome addition. |
