Looking for a virtual place to study with classmates or friends? Well, we've got you covered!
The library will host a series of Virtual Study Halls from October 26-28 and November 2-4 from 7-9 pm each night via Zoom. Join these sessions to stay accountable and make progress on upcoming papers, projects, or just study for your next exam. The library’s student team, the Peer Navigators, will host the sessions and be on hand to offer encouragement and support. Join here:https://bit.ly/377lG7K
How Does It Work? Upon logging into Virtual Study Hall, a Peer Navigator will welcome students via chat, ask them about their study goals, and connect them with resources if needed. The Peer Navigators are not tutoring or offering research help, their purpose is to keep the room open, provide guidance, and monitoring the virtual space for disruptions.

From providing essential services, to encouraging local business growth, to working collaboratively with state and federal agencies on local issues, city officials play an integral role in carrying out the interests of the citizens they represent. When government functions well, the Mayor must work closely with the Mayor Pro-Tem and the five Council Members. In 2021, Wilmingtonians will again have the chance to go to the polls to decide if these officials have performed their duties well or if change is in order.
What motivates private citizens to run for local office every two or four years? How is change affected at the local government level? What challenges do city officials face in carrying out laws, policies, and services?
Join us for a virtual program with former City of Wilmington officials who will discuss these topics and more on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, at 5:30 pm.
Featuring: Hamilton Hicks (Mayor of Wilmington, 1997-1999), Spence Broadhurst (Mayor of Wilmington, 2003-2006), and Earl Sheridan (City Council Member, 2005-2017)
