This is our final Flashback Friday of the 2023-2024 academic year! Do you remember doing summer reading in middle school? Don't worry, we aren't assigning any summer reading. However, we'd like you to check out these archived rubber stamps that were once used at Shafer Library. Before computers printed labels to keep track of our print materials, librarians used ink stamps to mark ownership of books. Each stamp represented a different department of the library (Archives, Curriculum Materials Center, and Shafer Library), and were used on print materials. We don't know how long ago these stamps were made, but were used before Findlay College became the University of Findlay (before 1989). These stamps show how the library organized materials to meet the needs of courses, faculty, and staff.
We hope you all enjoyed our Flashback Friday posts this year, and have a wonderful summer!

Hey there, Oilers! Looking for some new books to enjoy over break? Check out these new editions to the Pleasure Reading Collection here at Shafer!
Genre: Scifi, Space Opera
It's an old, familiar story: a young person hears the voice of an angel saying they have been chosen as a warrior to lead their people to victory in a holy war. But Misery Nomaki (she/they) knows they are a fraud. Raised on a remote moon colony, they don't believe in any kind of god. Their angel is a delusion, brought on by hereditary space exposure. Yet their survival banks on mastering the holy mech they are supposedly destined for and convincing the Emperor of the Faithful that they are the real deal.
