Juneteenth – Representation at the University Libraries

The observance of Juneteenth is one that honors the African American community throughout the United States. It is celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of the American Civil War and the termination of slavery. The designation for this tribute was first introduced during the 1890s in recognition of the State of Texas having accepted the Emancipation Proclamation issued by President Abraham Lincoln on June 19, 1865.

Included among the informational resources that we have available for our research community include the following selections . . .

Outdoor Aesthetics in Abundance – Agriculture, Gardening, Nature, and Related Resources

The Spring and Summer seasons are noted for warmth and visual wonder around us. With this in eye and mind, the University Libraries houses several book titles related to the time of year when natural wonders are evident not only on campus but destinations that our students and faculty will encounter near and far.

Texts found in this display provide both an introductory and advanced look at various aspects of our very own Garden State over the years but also celebrating the history of other places where flora is in full bloom.

Various titles can be found in the collection including the following examples found in our Book Catalog.

We will also feature a display of specialized titles (that can also be checked out!) from our collection that can be found on the second floor of Walsh Library from May through August.
