The Friends of the University of Colorado Libraries will hold its annual Information Day at Norlin Library on the CU-Boulder campus Thursday, Jan. 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is free and open to the public and will be in the Center for British and Irish Studies on the fifth floor. No reservations are required.

Jim Williams, dean of the CU Libraries and Claudine Garby, the Friends' president, will welcome participants. Guests will view the David H. Tippit Collection, a visual record of the 21st century, in Special Collections and also will receive training in the computer lab.

A catered light lunch will be served at noon. The lunch break will feature a program called "Highlights of the Art and Architecture Collection" presented by reference librarian Jennifer Parker.

The purpose of Information Day is to inform people about what Norlin Library has to offer and to familiarize them with how to use Norlin, the largest facility of its kind in the Rocky Mountain area.

The event is co-sponsored by the Daily Camera. Pay parking will be available in the Euclid Avenue Autopark.
