Library Night Out
This past Monday, the University Libraries hosted Library Night Out, an event aimed at supporting graduate students. The fair featured more than 13 library services — from the Writing Center and Archives and Special Collections to the Virtual Reality Lab and RED — designed to help students succeed in their academic pursuits. Attendees enjoyed food and participated in a Bingo game while exploring various service booths and meeting with Library faculty. The event saw strong participation, with over 30 students completing the bingo challenge. Library Night Out highlighted the library’s ongoing commitment to providing resources and support for the university community.

Bound and Unbound 8
• Call for entries September 23, 2024 – March 7, 2025
• The exhibition will be: August 25, 2025 – January 5, 2026
• Entry is open to all. Entry is free. Artists may submit up to three works for consideration. Submit entries at https://libguides.usd.edu/BU8, with one image per piece.
Bound and Unbound 8 is a is an international and juried exhibition.
This year's Juror is Isobelle Ouzman
Isobelle Ouzman is a British artist raised in Washington State, USA, now living and working in Europe. Ouzman graduated from Tacoma School of the Arts in 2010 and has been creating book art ever since, combining paper carving and illustration to create 3-dimensional stories within the pages of discarded novels, journals, and sketchbooks. Her altered books are a testament to the value of slow, purposeful work - gluing, carving, and illustrating through hundreds of pages over many weeks and months at a time. Her dedication to working with books stems from both her love for reading (from fairytales to psychology and everything in between) and her genuine connection to others through storytelling. She aims to highlight the value of books as an object, in addition to the transformative nature of narrative. Her work has been exhibited in the USA and Slovakia, featured in magazines such as Hi-Fructose, Colossal, and My Modern Met, and can be found in private collections worldwide. https://isobelleouzman.com
