a very Belmont summer

1. Read a book! We have new popular reading titles, ask for more info! Nashville Public has summer reading programs for young and old, sign up! Not sure what to read, find something good!

2. Eat (fresh) veggies! Beaman will become a drop-off point for Real Food Farm’s CSA program, giving students and faculty an opportunity to purchase a weekly supply of fresh organic vegetables at an affordable price.

3. Hit the gym and bring a friend! Summer Buddy Memberships are available for a bargain! Even freshly-graduated seniors won't be cut off!

4. Breathe some fresh air! Pack a picnic and head to Centennial, Sevier, Es Rose or any of Nashville's other parks or greenways.

5. Listen to the music! Bike to Bonnaroo, become a regular at your favorite venue, or enjoy free outdoor concerts like 12th South Concert Series in Sevier Park, Musician's Corner at Centennial, the Nashville Symphony's Regions Community Concerts, etc. Nashville for Free will give you a heads up on the freebies, right Emily?

pepsi on the run?

To those of you asking, "Hey, who ran away with the Pepsi vending machine?!?!" Lila has good news. It has been moved to the 2nd floor atrium and the snack vending machine will follow shortly. Why, you ask? Café construction will begin as early as next Monday, May 9th! Yipppeee!

Fruity? Fudgy?

Lila has both kinds. Stop by this afternoon (1-3pm) for a free popsicle!

Dead day? Not in Lila's house

You already knew about our all-night study areas, right? If you haven't already spent the night in the library, now is your chance!
Get some culture! Looking at purdy pictures is a great study break. The Senior Art Exhibition is still up in LCVA 121 and in our gallery foyer. "Where we've been" is on display in Lila's main gallery.
Print final papers/projects/boarding passes. When the computers in the reference area are full, head to the MILC (the 1st floor computer lab near the entrance of the library).

Should you feel compelled to venture outside of the library on dead day...
Noon-5pm: Moovers and Shakers, Nashville's first mobile soda parlor and the brainchild of two Belmont Entrepreneurs, will be on the south lawn. Root beer float, anyone?
9-11pm: UM's Pancake Night in the Cafeteria / Student Center. Hot, fresh, and smothered in butter. Bring it.
