Circle of Friends

As a Circle of Friends member, you receive  priority entry to the NSU semi-annual Alvin Sherman Library Book Sale.  There’s lots of gently used books for young and adult readers! Cookbooks, fiction, non-fiction and more.  Just one more benefit of your membership.

 

The NSU Alvin Sherman Library is undergoing some exciting upgrades, thanks to two very generous donors.  Circle of Friends’ board members, Ann Porterfield (Board Secretary), and Peter Woolf (Vice President) along with his wife Fran are the first to help us update two of our 23 study rooms. The revamp is starting with new and improved furniture and the latest technology to enhance the patron’s experience. Each room has a 40” TV display which lets patrons connect their laptops or wirelessly to share and work collaboratively with others.

The Study Rooms in the NSU Alvin Sherman Library are one of the most requested and used facilities by students and patrons. These upgrades will truly enhance our students’ and community patrons’ experiences. For more information about how you too can make a difference and update a NSU Alvin Library study room, please contact Diane Klein, Director of Development at kdiane@nova.edu / 954-262-2171.

Circle of Friends of the NSU Alvin Sherman Library invites you to The Power of Glass, a lecture on art glass by Davira S. Taragin. Writer, author, lecturer and curator, Ms. Taragin is one of the country’s foremost experts on art glass.

The event is in honor of Joan and Milton Baxt.  Mrs. Baxt was a lover of art glass who also served on the Board of the Circle of Friends and was a strong supporter of the library through her time and philanthropy.

Free and open to the public.  Please RSVP to: lib.nova.edu/glass or 954-262-4593.  Reception generously sponsored by The Division of  Advancement and Community Relations. 

Author of Good Blood: A Journey of Healing and daughter of Holocaust survivors, Irit shares her awakening to the reality of miracles and the direct connection of our mind to our physical, emotional and spiritual well being… and how letting go lets the healing in.
