Libraries To Celebrate Constitution Day-
September 17
Wichita State
University Libraries is honoring Constitution Day 2008 with a
contest, a recitation of the Preamble to the
Constitution, and a display.
To test your
knowledge of the Constitution, the University Libraries has compiled
a short criss-cross puzzle. The puzzle is available in paper format
on a table next to the display case and on the Web at
www.library.wichita.edu/puzzle.htm. Completed
puzzles should be turned in to the Circulation Desk. Individuals who
correctly solve the puzzle will be entered into a drawing for
WSU-themed prizes donated by the WSU Bookstore and the Heskett
Center. The drawing will be held shortly after 1:00p.m. by the
Circulation Desk of Ablah Library on Constitution Day, Wednesday,
September 17.
Preceding the
drawing, precisely at 1:00p.m., a short broadcast will
feature General Colin Powell leading a recitation of the Preamble to
the Constitution. The
recitation is dedicated to our military serving all around the
world. All are invited to
join in the recitation.
The Constitution
Day display is in the display case on the main floor of Ablah Library. The exhibit
highlights some of the information resources available in the
University Libraries that provide a better understanding of the
origins and structure of the U.S. Constitution and challenges it has
faced. A list of items in the display case may be found at:
