Check out the reads our library staff enjoyed this summer. Many of these titles can be found in our Popular Reading Collection - it's not too late to check out a book and keep the summer vibes going!
We are so excited to welcome our new students to campus and our returning students back! We have some fun things planned for the first week:
Ice Pops and Back to School Photos: Wednesday, August 26th, 12 - 2pm
Come snap a back-to-school photo and grab an ice pop for one last summer treat!
Study Giveaways Celebrating our New Sensory Room and Newly Designed Scholar's Lounge: Tuesday, August 25th and Thursday, August 27th, 12-2pm.
Stop by our table in the atrium to learn about new library spaces and pickup a new highlighter or sensory item!
SJU students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in an SJU250 Summer Book Club discussion of Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge, by Erica Armstrong Dunbar. Dunbar offers a well-researched account of the life of Ona Judge, Martha Washington’s chief attendant who risked everything to escape enslavement and achieve freedom. We are excited to dive into this book within the context of America's 250th anniversary as well as conversations around the removal, restoration, and ongoing proposed changes to an exhibit on slavery where Ona Judge once lived, The President’s House Site in Philadelphia.
Learn more and register for two virtual discussions on Wednesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, July 15th, at 1pm.
Sponsored by SJU Libraries and the History Department; co-hosts Jen Hasse and Jeff Hyson
