Asking around the office for ideas of what to post for October-in-review, I was met with a general sense that October was busy, went by much too quickly, and nobody can pinpoint what, exactly, occurred in it.So, a few points.

• Amy put together her first mini-exhibit — “All About Autumn: From Acorns to Zombies”. This is the poster she made for it. Fun fact: The green arm is a cleverly photoshopped version of her own arm.
• A few days ago we had British novelist Patrick Gale come visit in the Reading Room, where he was kind enough to sign (in his words, “deface”) a stack of his books from the Neil Richards collection.
• Jill Crawley-Lowe’s excellent horse display in the Link is now being replaced with a display on the First World War by Patrick Hayes. Keep an eye out for it — it looks to be really interesting.
• A series of Great War vignettes are being released by University Communications in honour of the hundred-year anniversary of that terrible conflict. The latest, on a local nurse who spent years overseas in France and Greece, can be found here .
