SchoolDude Update鈥擱oom Set Ups & Tear Downs We no longer require you to submit a separate request for set ups and take downs. The next time you request a room set up, in the Request Description box, you will include the details for both the set-up and the tear down. We will look after it from there. To avoid confusion, please provide all details for the set up first, then in a second paragraph, the details for the tear down. If you have a diagram of the setup, go to Step 6 and attach it to the work order request. If you would like to cancel or amend your request, please e-mail Karl at fmworkorders@upei.ca and provide him with the work order number and the details. As a reminder, when you book the room, you request at least 2 hours before your event for set up and 2 hours for tear down.(Please call us if you have a large set up so we can advise you as to how much time you will need to book.) If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us in Facilities for assistance. Thank you, Kathy MacKenzie

At the next Research on Tap, join us for a discussion about how we choose our literature. Dr. Shannon Murray, Professor of English at UPEI, will lead a discussion entitled "We鈥檝e become adults who read children鈥檚 books. What鈥檚 wrong with us?" The event begins at 7 pm on Tuesday, April 2, at The Pourhouse, above The Old Triangle Irish Alehouse in Charlottetown. 鈥'Harry Potter' was among the first YA series to develop an adult following,鈥 says Dr. Murray. 鈥淓ven then, I can remember people hiding their copy behind a magazine. Today, people openly read 'The Hunger Games' or 'Twilight' without batting an eye.鈥 Dr. Murray鈥檚 discussion will delve into the history of children鈥檚 literature, and how we have categorized (and sometimes marginalized) books for children. She鈥檒l also bring examples of some of her favourite books that can be enjoyed by kids and adults. Research on Tap is a series of public discussions with UPEI researchers.
