Want to get better at talking color while having a great time? Hues and Cues is a game for 3-10 players that challenges your ability to make connections to colors with words. Using only one and two-word cues, try to get your friends to guess a specific color from the 480 on the game board. Hues and Cues won the 2020 Dice Tower's Party Game of the Year. Check it out at the library!

In 2023, 4,240 unique titles were targeted for removal in US libraries and schools, according to the American Library Association’s Office of Intellectual Freedom. This is a 65% increase in the number of titles that were targeted in 2022 (2,571). 47% of those titles represented the voices and lived experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people and Ohio was one of 17 states where attempts to censor more than 100 titles occurred.

EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), a.k.a. Quick Search, is the library's one stop shop for articles, books, newspapers, multimedia, and more. EDS is a lot like Google Scholar but there is more control over the results and there are more features to help you with your research.
This CIA online, faculty only workshop will review basic and advanced searching, filters, understanding the results list, what is and isn't in EDS, and how to save your items to folders. Join us on September 26th from 11am to noon.

The library has a tradition of participating in National Voter Registration Day activities, including registering students to vote. But did you know that in the November 2023 election, less than half of registered voters in Ohio actually voted? This year, we want to do more than just register voters. We want to help you make your voting plan! We have a printable worksheet to help make your voting plan and we will help you make your plan.
Voting is crucial for artists, designers, and students as it ensures your voice is heard and helps to shape the future policies that directly impact your education, your career, your overall quality of life, as well as the lives of your family, friends, colleagues, and community. The Jessica R. Gund Memorial Library is committed to ensuring that everyone at CIA who is eligible to vote is not only registered to vote, but also makes voting a habit for life!
Come to the library before November 5, 2024 for assistance with registering to vote, checking voter registrations, requesting absentee ballots, answering questions about voting, envelopes and postage for election related mail addressed to students' boards of elections.
Our Voting Information Guide has been updated for the November General Election and has a ton of new information. Voting is easy, but if you haven't voted before, you may be nervous or unsure of how it works. The guide aims to answer as many questions as possible, while also linking you to all the information you need to be a voter this November.
Please come by the library to register to vote, get help requesting absentee ballots, completing a voting plan that works for YOU and SO MUCH MORE. We have pre-printed absentee ballot applications, envelopes, stamps (for election related mail), and people who know how to answer your voting questions.
We wish you a safe and happy Fall Break. The library is open during break! If you are off campus, access our resources at library.cia.edu.
