Three New Collections at the Law Library

The law library has added three small collections. All three are "donated" collections made up entirely of user and staff donations. For more information on any of the collections, or to make a donation of items, please email lawlib@umn.edu.

MLF Collection
The MLF Collection was created at the request of the law student organization Minnesota Law Families. The collection is comprised of books, media, and activity materials to keep children of law school parents occupied while accompanying their parents to class or study groups. The collection is located in two locations: books, activity/coloring books, crayons, colored pencils, and markers are in the leisure collection in the 2nd floor loft area; child-appropriate DVDs, CDs, or other media will be located in the Reserve Vertical File. A list of items in the Reserve Vertical File will be accessible on the Reserves Intranet page under "Minnesota Law Families" as items are added: http://www.law.umn.edu/library/tools/section.html?id=296
*MLF Collection items are not a substitute for parental supervision while in the library.

Foreign Language Leisure Collection
Parlez-Vous Français? ¿Habla Espanol? Then this collection is for you! We've created a special area in the leisure collection for foreign language leisure books. They are located on the top shelf farthest to the left and are indicated with a shelf sign. The leisure collection is located in the 2nd floor loft area. Leisure collection items do not need to be checked out and can be returned at your?leisure!

Rec Sports Equipment Collection
Looking for a study break from the law school grind? Need a little fresh air after spring arrives? Check out our rec sports equipment collection! We have an assortment of outdoor activity items located in the Reserve room that can be checked out. Items include Frisbees, jump ropes, footballs, a horseshoe set, and an assortment of sport balls. A list of all items is accessible on the Reserve Intranet page under "Rec Sports Equipment": http://www.law.umn.edu/library/tools/section.html?id=297
