Welcome!

Hey, everybody!

Welcome to our very first post on BoMuStu, the Carlyle Fraser Library’s alter ego. BoMuStu stands for "Books. Music. Stuff.", and is devoted to informing you about fun and interesting resources on a variety of topics, technology, and of course books and music. We’ll also highlight materials in the CFL’s collection and tell you how you can get your hands on it. Further, the library staff will provide reviews of their favorite reads and music via podcast for your listening pleasure. The site will continue to grow, and our goal is to update daily. So, keep checking back to see what cool stuff has been added. Also, please leave us comments! We’d love to hear what you like and want to see more of.

Have a great day!
Your librarians
