Before you get overwhelmed with assignments for the new semester, the Libraries wanted to welcome you back with a chance to win a pair of ticket to Hancher for dinner and a show on Tuesday, February 12th at 7:30 p.m. Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra will be playing the Love Songs of Duke Ellington, just in time for Valentine’s Day.

To win, you need to write a short essay (250-500 words) comparing a scholarly work from your discipline to any part of Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet. You also are required to submit a complete citation of the scholarly work your are comparing. If you’re so inclined, you write a sonnet instead of the essay.

All entries are due on Monday, February 4th at 12 p.m. (noon) and must be submitted online through the web form. A panel of librarians will choose the winning entry. The winner will be announced on Friday, February 8th.

For complete rules, information and to submit your entry, check online at www.lib.uiowa.edu/events/withlove.
