Ohio University Libraries hosted yet another successful year of Camp Alden. The annual welcome week event is a great way to get back into the swing of OHIO and the Libraries. With fun activities such as s’mores making, a scavenger hunt and Dug the therapy dog, it’s no wonder this is some people’s favorite event of the semester. See below highlights through images from the event.
OHIO students, faculty and staff gathered for the Libraries’ celebration to welcome students back to campus. For this year’s event, students were able to explore the floors of Alden Library via the scavenger hunt, button making, marshmallow roasting and more.
