Keeping sprits up in gray days of early spring, we are celebrating magic and illusionism in our main lobby as one of the greatest escape artists of all time, Harry Houdini, has his 149th birthday this March 24th. This crafty escapist is in good company with our viridescent display of St. Patrick’s Day inspired reads on the 1st floor. Check-out a book from our Emerald Isle display and stay pinch proof this spring break!

Learning to belay is an important part of the climbing experience at the EKU climbing center, or outside at any natural cliff face. This clinic teaches participants about equipment, knots, climbing skills, belay technique, catching falls, and lowering climbers; all with plenty of practice. Participants who have completed a workshop may then complete a free belay skills assessment to belay independently at the climbing wall. To register, please visit mycampusrec.eku.edu
