Breakfast and a Book
In the fall of 2006, IUP Libraries began sponsoring the Breakfast-and-a-Book speaker series. The goal of this series is to recognize faculty who have recently published books and share the content of those books with the university community. Breakfast-and-a-Book sessions are held during the last week of each of the three full months in the fall and spring semesters. Administration, faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend, and a continental breakfast is provided by IUP Libraries.
