Have you ever found yourself torn between studying and staying fit?  Well the Leddy Library has the solution for you!  We’ve installed three new study bikes, so you can get your work done while getting a work out!
 
Stationary bikes with attached desks have been set up along the northern window in the Leddy Library Main building.  Use will be on a first-come, first-served basis.  These bikes allow users to exercise the body as well as the mind even during the busiest times of the semester.

Saturday June 11th was the launch event for the Breaking the Colour Barrier: Wilfred "Boomer" Harding & the Chatham Coloured All-Stars (1932-1939) project. Hundreds were in attendance at the WISH Centre in Chatham Ontario to view displays, learn about the project and new website, listen to researchers and family, and even buy some baseball cards of the 34 All-Stars team (proceeds going to the Chatham Kent Black Historical Society).

The Leddy Library is closed on Saturday, June 17th due to a campus wide power outage.
