National Hero Commemoration & University Libraries

Most of us have individuals who we look up to for how they treat us, or who might inspire us on a higher level. This makes a chosen person(s) a special part of our lives and can be considered a “Hero” in the eyes of the beholder. In other words, this soul(s) can be anyone from a parent(s), sibling(s) to historical figures, or those who are currently in the public eye. Real-life personalities (and even fictional ones) alike can serve as a “Hero” to any individual who has become an admirer.

With the theme of “Hero Worship” in mind, from casual respect to lifelong fascination, research materials related to various individuals can be referenced through the University Libraries collection.

A precise search of our SHU Search and/or specific Book Catalog can result in more information about being a “Hero” or “Heroic” in nature. Specific people can effectively be looked up and referenced via these two sites as well.
