Gotta Catch'em All

Gotta Catch’em All!

Greetings fellow trainers!

The John C. Hitt Library has experienced a large amount of Pokemon sightings around the building. From the Circulation Desk, to the Reference Desk, and even the LibTech Desk, these Pokemon can be found in every nook and cranny. And no wonder, there are two Pokestops at the John C. Hitt Library. One is on the North end of the building, by the windows, and the other is out front at the “Flame of Hope” sculpture. There is even a Pokemon Gym just out front at the Reflecting Pond.

Good luck out there trainers! And remember, the Library is also a great place to find resources, study with friends, or relax in peace and quiet to simply read a book.
