Want a cool poster of Smokey reading a book? Drop by the library this week to pick up one of our “READ” posters.

It’s National Library Week, and we’re celebrating. Posters featuring Smokey, Little Smokey, the Volunteer, and Dr. Bill Bass (of “Body Farm” fame) are the first in our series of posters picturing campus celebrities. Our poster series is modeled on the American Library Association’s long-standing poster campaign. ALA’s READ posters feature sports figures, actors, and other celebrities reading from a favorite book.

Posters are available this week at Hodges Library, the Music Library, and Pendergrass Agriculture & Veterinary Medicine Library. Follow our READ poster series at facebook.com/utklibraries.
