Happy New Year from Laupus Library

We are proud to launch the inaugural issue of The Provider, an electronic newsletter that shares the library’s accomplishments and innovations with our patrons, Friends and library community.

In addition to exciting new initiatives in the works for our students and faculty, we will also observe the 50th anniversary of the library with events throughout the year. As we make these upcoming announcements, please be sure to mark your calendars to attend our events, activities and acknowledgments of this great milestone.
 
And one last exciting piece of news: The library has permanently extended our weekend hours of operation in direct response to student demand. We listen at Laupus, so please feel free to reach out to me or any of our employees with requests or feedback.

Thank you, and here’s wishing you a productive and positive 2019.
