New Library Services
The library debuted some new services this fall. We
are very excited about our new, later hours. On Mon-
days through Thursdays, the library
is open until midnight. Hours on
Sunday evening from 8:00pm until
midnight were added as well. Stu-
dent response to the late hours has been very positive.
We have averaged about 50 students each night during
the extended hours.
In the Spring of 2009, the microfilm collection and
reader/printers were re-arranged and moved closer to
the Reference Desk area. The space freed up was fur-
nished with tables and chairs to create a quiet area
where snack-type food can be consumed. This area is
located on the main level back beyond the restrooms,
in the southeast corner of the building.
The Ray and C.R. Thrasher Archives
The Trevecca archives has been formally named the
Ray and C.R. Thrasher Archives. During Homecom-
ing 2009, a reception was held and the archives was
officially named in honor of Ray and C.R. Thrasher.
Mrs. Ray Thrasher served Trevecca
through forty-three years of employ-
ment in the library, and Rev. C.R.
Thrasher served the Church of the
Nazarene as a pastor and district super-
intendent.
February 11, 2010 was H. Ray Dun-
ning Day, in which former Trevecca
faculty member, now emeriti, H. Ray
Dunning was honored as a Trevecca
Treasure for his theological and schol-
arly contributions to the Church of the
Nazarene. The library hosted a book Dunning with Archivist
Andrea Gales and Gail Pusey
signing of Dunning‘s most recent publi-
cation, Becoming Christlike Disciples. Gales was in-
volved in the planning and displays for this event
which also included a live interview with Dunning
during the chapel service.

During the summer renovations, a water line was
installed near the Circulation Desk so that we could
install a coffee machine!
Regular and decaffeinated cof-
fee is available in a variety in
blends. Specialty and flavored
coffees include vanilla, hazel-
nut, chocolate, Milky Way
swirl, and cappuccino. A small selection of teas are
also available.
Prices for an 8oz drink range from 50 cents for
hot water only to $1.50 for the specialty coffees.
All the supplies – cups, lids, sleeves, and stir straws
– are recyclable and compostable. Lids are re-
quired on all drinks in the library. Come and try
some coffee!
Ongoing archival projects include creating an or-
ganizational structure for the collection, the acquisi-
tion of new materials, providing access to the col-
lection through finding aids and a computer data-
base, as well as the creation of dis-
plays. Donations of relevant materials
are always welcome.
The Thrasher Archives is located on
the ground level of Waggoner Library.
The mission of the archives is to pre-
serve documents and artifacts of his-
torical significance generated by the
university and the Church of the Naza-
rene, with specific focus on Trevecca‘s
Southeast Educational Region. For-
mally established during the 1974-75
academic year in conjunction with the
writing of Trevecca‘s seventy-fifth anni-
versary history, it has only been this year with the
promotion of Andrea Gales that the library has had
a full-time librarian whose primary responsibilities
are archives.

What’s happening at Waggoner?
From hosting birthday parties to celebrat-
ing Trevecca Authors to enjoying music in
the rotunda, many things have been going
on in Waggoner Library these past few
months and few things are forthcoming.
Millard Reed Collection
May 7 from 1:00-2:00 there will be a re-
ception in the Thrasher Archives celebrat-
ing the acquisition of the Millard Reed
Collection. This collection donated by for-
mer university President Millard Reed in-
cludes family memorabilia, Presidential
papers and other documents and photo-
graphs relating to Trevecca as well as the
Church of the Nazarene.
Trevecca Authors 2010 is slated for Mon-
day April 12. For the 9th time Waggoner
library recognizes research and scholarship
of Trevecca faculty and administrators who
have published during the school year.
Publications will be on display in the li-
brary and scholars will be honored at the
April 12 Faculty/Admin meeting. Light
refreshments will be served in the library
immediately following the meeting.
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! On Thursday
March 4, 2010 the library celebrated the
birthday of the beloved children‘s author,
Dr. Seuss. Each year a birthday party with
favorite readings commemorate this favor-
ite author‘s life . The Children‘s Literature
class joined us for this event as each class
member read a
favorite chil-
dren‘s story
for the audi-
ence. Cake Prof. Sharon
and punch Thompson
(green of
course) was served. Dr. Seuss books are
fun and imaginative but also teach im-
portant life lessons and encourage
higher thinking even in young children.
We thank everyone who stopped by to
support and encourage reading! This
year‘s attendance was higher than ever
with 49 participants.

TNU Brass Quintet On Dec. 15 sounds of
brass resonated in the library rotunda as
Trevecca‘s brass quintet graced the library
with lovely and at times, lively, Christmas
music. Professors Matt Murdock and
David Diehl along with two music major
students played Christmas favorites in the
rotunda during lunch hour.

there was pizza and music. Free coffee
coupons were distributed as well.
Food For Fines In support of Second Har-
vest Food Bank, Waggoner Library held a
FOOD FOR FINES amnesty period during
the 2009 fall semester. Students with out-
standing overdue library books and unpaid
fines had their charges waived in exchange
for a non-perishable food item or items.
The amnesty was in effect November 30th
–December 18th and nearly 50 lbs of food
were contributed.
Halloween Reading Last fall the library
held its 2nd annual Halloween Reading in
the IRC. The event included face painting,
a bookmark making table, pumpkin paint-
ing, icky snack making (and eating), lots of
yummy treats, and of course several
GREAT Halloween stories. The scary sto-
ries were read aloud by several drama stu-
dents as well as a few faculty members.
The turnout for this event was very excit-
ing as we had students, staff, faculty as
well as several family members and visi-
tors in attendance.
