Keep Calm and Pokémon

There’s no need to stand in the heat to catch your Bulbasaurs.  Come to the Ross Pendergraft Library, now a PokeStop in the popular creature-grabbing, location-based app.

In case you haven’t downloaded the app yet (or are vigorously rolling your eyes right now), there are PokeStops all over campus, including gyms at Bastech, Doc Bryan, and Tech Baseball Field.  You can view the full map, as of 7/18/16, here:

Stop by the library, catch ‘em all, and while you you’re at it, catch some other things like DVDs, books, and research articles.  The library is open all summer long to satisfy your academic and casual knowledge cravings.
