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.
