Lucy's Library Blast
November 5, 2018
After a successful Book Fair, the library is back in action.
National History Day
The Tennessee State Library and Archives is hosting a research open house for National History Day students. Scheduled for Saturday, December 1st, we will have extra archivists and librarians on staff that day to help students find primary and secondary sources for their projects.
Research Open House at the Tennessee State Library and Archives for National History Day Students!
Saturday, December 1st 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Need primary sources? Join us at the Tennessee State Library and Archives for a NHD research open house! We’ll have extra archivists and librarians available and ready to work with NHD students to conduct primary source research for your projects.
Need secondary sources? We have those, too!
How it works: A research open house means students can arrive and leave when you like! Once you sign up, our staff will work with you to preidentify collections in which you may wish to research on December 1st.
What to bring? A notepad and pencils OR tablet/laptop on which to take notes, a flash drive for scanning materials, and some change for the copy machine.
Where? The Tennessee State Library and Archives is located at 403 7th Avenue North, Nashville, TN 37243 (Plenty of parking is available on Saturdays.)
Sign up: To participate in this research day, please email Kelly.Wilkerson@tn.gov with your name, project category, and your NHD topic! Please sign up by November 28th!
Special note: The Tennessee State Library and Archives has great material for students working on topics in Tennessee and American history. If you are working on a world history topic, please email Kelly.Wilkerson@tn.gov to see if we have research materials available for that topic
Registration is required! For more information, please see the attached flyer or visit our website at: https://sos.tn.gov/tsla/education-outreach-upcoming-events

But our Demotivater Products© don’t work even better. This is not directed at anyone. Just too funny because some are too true.
