Art in the Library


The King Library invites you to drop in and view the beautiful photographs on display. The photos of King Campus were taken by Lisa Hurst-Rykhoff, the circulation clerk in the library. Awesome photos Lisa!

Canucks Run Amok

Have you noticed your King library staff speed walking around campus? They are competing in the Canucks Run Amok challenge in which libraries race across Canada. King's run-amokers are a competitive bunch. Out of 33 teams, they are currently in 6th place and gaining ground! Support the team by cheering library staff on when you see them walking/running across campus.
