Dean's Welcome

Greetings, Coyotes!

Welcome to Fall 2024! We are happy you’re here!

We have wonderful programming in store for you this Fall! Look for the return of Pop Tart Pop In on 9 September and then every Monday during the semester (except holidays). We will celebrate the Freedom to Read during Banned Books week in September, and continue the conversation with a highlight author visit from graphic novelist Mike Curato on 8 October. Keep a watch on our calendar and social media for more events, with a special watch for book giveaways!

Our library team is here for you, wherever “here” is for you! Ask a Librarian service is a wonderful place to begin. You have options to chat, phone, or text. There is even a service to chat with a librarian from one of our partners around the globe if you need help after hours! It’s even available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. If you need more time to discuss your questions and projects in depth, you can schedule an appointment, in-person or virtual. Our team is here to help you be successful and de-mystify our wonderful resources!

Our Makerspaces give you the chance to be a creator. You can stop by to visit and see the sample creations, or send your own 3D print request for the Innovation Lab. There will be new surprises in the space too, expanding maker options from 3D printing to other crafting. Think you have a voice for podcasting? Check out the Innovation Studio.

We’ve got great electronic resources, that you can check out wherever you are as long as you have your Coyote ID. Here’s just a couple to give you an idea:

Asian Life in America, 1704-today - The experience and impact of Asian Americans as recorded by the news media. Includes Series 1: 1704-1941, Series 2: 1942-2017, and Series 3: 2018-today.

New York Amsterdam News (1922-2010): ProQuest Historical Newspapers - Historical coverage of one the oldest and most influential Black newspapers in the U.S. Digital images available, fully searchable.

Please follow our main website and social media for updates!
