Calling all night owls! #LateNightLibrary is back for the winter term. The main floor of the James A. Gibson Library and Matheson Learning Commons will be open until 2:30 a.m. from Sunday to Thursday each week. Friday April 21 we will also be open until 2:30am.
Saturdays April 15 and April 22 we will be open from 9:00am-11:00pm.
Extended hours will be available until April 25th.
The late night study space includes individual study space, computers, group study rooms, photocopiers and printers. Please note that access is via the Thistle entrance only — the Schmon Tower entrance doors will be unavailable. Library services such as borrowing and research help will not be available during late night study.
Those who rely on public transit should be aware of transit schedules. Please note the last St. Catharines Transit Bus leaving campus is at 11:30pm. During late night hours patrons desiring accompaniment walking to their residence or car can contact Campus Security (download the Brock Mobile app to easily reach the dispatcher). During the exam period, BUSU will continue to offer the ‘Drive Home’ shuttle service.
This initiative would not be possible without the cooperation and support of BUSU, Campus Security and Facilities Management.

“The year is 50 B.C. Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans. Well, not entirely! One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaires who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium …”
Translated into 107 languages and adored around the world, the comic series Astérix et Obélix by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo debuted in 1959. In all, 36 albumns have been published since then. In addition to print, the anti-heroes have been featured in numerous films and games. In 1989, their influence extended further with the opening of Parc Astérix, a theme park north of Paris.
The Library and Learning Commons display cases – in a light-hearted end to the winter term, are exhibiting several albums and figurines of the characters. Enjoy the display and be on the look-out for Dogmatix (Astérix’s loyal companion and tiny fearless terrier). He has his own method for dealing with the invading Romans!
Special thanks to Sébastien Marchal (University Marketing and Communications) and Catherine Parayre (Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures – French Studies) for this entertaining exhibit.
The students loved the workshop! Thanks so much for helping make the day so special.
The workshops were also superb. All four workshops were enthusiastically received by our students. They were well organized and enjoyed by our students.

Reflecting on the practice of Synthetic Theatre in the 1920s, students in STAC 2P94 (Embodied Text: Art Beyond the Artifact) translate physical movements into 3D prints and write accompanying mini scripts. The result is the still representation of a performance.

Thanks so much for the tour of maker space and the introduction to 3D printing. I have wanted to learn more about this technology for awhile and had a great time printing a version of myself…was a nice break in the middle of my day. So cool!!

I saw the IELP students take a keen interest in the 3D printers, VR, and some of the robotics. Having that many students attend actually made the other students in the library more aware that it was happening too. Tabitha was awesome at every stage and I’m so glad she allowed and encouraged us to participate. Tabitha, Jonathan and the others are all so creative.

A big thank you to the library and the staff at the Makerspace. Their knowledgeable staff was able to help me learn how to design and print a 3D model, as well as various other projects. I would recommend this highly innovative space to anyone at Brock looking to try something new, and get creative.
