Preus Library stands in solidarity with campus community members who protest hate and fight for equity, diversity and inclusion. We affirm that libraries are for everyone, and we strive to create a space in which all feel welcome and safe.
No matter the venue or the circumstance, we condemn any form of intimidation or discrimination based on culture, ethnicity, gender, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation. Our differences should be celebrated, and mutual respect and understanding should serve as the norms within our society.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Hot Reads for Cold Nights and the Edible Books Contest. We had an incredibly successful month of just-for-fun reading. We hope everyone who participated had as much fun as we did.
