The Franklin D. Schurz Library celebrated 25 years of student engagement with a reception March 25.

Dean Vicki Bloom also gave a presentation on the Library's future. A video of the presentation will be available on the library's speaker series webpage  later this month.  The Library's 25th anniversary committee also created a slide show featuring old photos and quotes from the campus community.
