A program to celebrate the newly published books of UC Davis faculty and academic appointees will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2005, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Peter J. Shields Library.

The event, co-sponsored by the UC Davis General Library and the UC Davis Bookstore, combines a reception, brief remarks by Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw, Academic Senate Chair and law professor Daniel Simmons, University Librarian Marilyn Sharrow, and a representative number of the authors.

The event also includes a one-day display of over 100 newly published books by UC Davis faculty members and academic appointees, and all authors whose books were submitted for display at the event will be honored.
