Is "overheard at NC State" still a thing? Well, sometimes we overhear some stuff and we gotta set the record straight. The fins are very ~cool~ but they don't move.

Graphic that states "Things to do at the Libraries. That's right, we have more than just books! 1. Ask Us a question, any question, any time, anywhere. Or request a one-on-one virtual consultation with an expert! 2. Borrow required textbooks. We have them all at Ask Us!"
Graphic that states "3. Borrow more than books! Explore new worlds with the Meta Quest 3 or Apple Vision Pro. Or solve ancient problems with a graphing calculator. All available in our tech lending collection. 4. Visit the Academic Success Center in the Hill Library for writing help and academic assistance, including tutoring."
Graphic that states "5. The Libraries offers more than just tools to help with your academics: we also offer opportunities for you to focus on your overall wellness! 6. Learn something new — from DJing to visualizing data with R — in one of our workshops."
Graphic that states "7. Get inspired — hear from authors, musicians, artists, and change-makers through our NC State University Libraries event series. 8. Print nearly anything on one of the Makerspace or Maker Studio 3D printers!"
Welcome to your Libraries! There are WAY more than ten things not to miss at the Libraries, but this is a pretty good start! Check out a textbook or a VR headset, come to one of our fantastic events or take a super fun workshop, meet with a tutor or play a bunch of video games...all for FREE!

👀 Have you been hearing stuff about us? Thanks for coming to the source to set it straight! 👀 Fun fact: Our librarians do more way more than manage books 😊 Our librarians can help you with your research projects, connect you with resources and more!
