Do you have FIFA World Cup fever?
FANS ENJOY THE NOTL CAMPUS LIBRARY WORLD CUP LOUNGE
A COUPLE OF FANS ENJOY THE WORLD CUP AT THE WC
The Niagara-on-the-Lake library has set up a comfy viewing area with couches and chairs for fans to enjoy the faced-paced, high caliber soccer matchs of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It is the perfect spot to take a break and cheer on your favorite team/country to soccer gold.
Due to on going construction at the WC we will be unable to offer a World Cup Lounge service to WC students this year. However, we would like to inform the students and faculty that a LCD projector will be broadcasting the FIFA activities in the cafeteria foyer.
Whatever the venue take a moment and enjoy the competition!
