Movies @ the Library

Who says summer in the library has to be boring? The St. Paul Campus Library has a number of fun (i.e. non-academic) films available to check out. Many are 2-hour limits, so stop by and watch a movie here on your own laptop, on one of our computers, or on one of the TVs at a media viewing station. Great way to kill a couple hours on campus between sessions (or take a break from studying).
