The heat wave we're having outside is the perfect time to hang out in the air-conditioned CVGA to check out the new games that just arrived for the PlayStation VR that we got towards the end of the Winter term.

We also have a new comics display focused on Science, including titles like How to Fake a Moon Landing: Exposing the...
The CVGA has now been serving students, faculty, staff and the public for over eight years. From its founding to today, the CVGA has attracted press attention for its unique service. In honor of U-M’s 200th anniversary, we’d like to highlight the CVGA’s growth through a sampling of press articles as well as memories from our own blog.
Since this month is Women's History Month, we'd like to bring your attention to two new book displays that highlight this theme. The first showcases books from the Art, Architecture & Engineering Library stacks. The second showcases specifically graphic novels from the same collection.
