The Faculty & Librarian Commons (FLC) is a convenient and informal meeting and working space on the 26th floor of the W.E.B. Du Bois Library, open to all faculty and librarians. Coffee and light snacks are on hand, with cafe-style seating. Stop by the FLC to work on individual and collaborative projects, connect with colleagues from across campus, or just take a break and relax. While you are here, add some pieces to the community jigsaw puzzle, color, play a board game, or read one of the journals, reviews, or books on our shelves. You will find some useful resources, upcoming events postings, and swag you can take home with you. OFD’s offices are also here - come by and say “hi!” and let us know if we can answer any questions!
Family is welcome to join you in the FLC. A kid kit is available with toys activities to occupy any kiddos in tow.
