Graduate Services will be closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday starting at 5PM Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 and ending at 1PM Sunday, November 29th.This means we will be closed Thursday and Friday along with our usual Saturday closure (yes, we are not one of the libraries that got the Chancellor’s reprieve). To lighten the blow of these closures, and for all those that missed the various celebrations around town last week commemorating 50 years of William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch (of which various editions of this book can be found in Graduate Services Modern Authors Collection), below is the Modern Author himself reading his "Thanksgiving Prayer" directed by Academy Award winner, Gus Van Sant. Merry Thanksgiving to everyone and a thank you to Daily Motion.com for the video.
