"Nothing is pleasanter than exploring a library."

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864)
English writer and poet

With a long historic identify of being a “place,” today’s library faces challenges of relevancy in a hybrid world. This month, Dean Nitecki shares insights into the Drexel Libraries' own efforts to accommodate "the hybrid library." 

Learn more about the cartoneras publishing movement through the Libraries’ latest exhibit, which features original, hand-made cardboard books created by Drexel students for their Spanish 410 course.


Six months after the University expanded its flexible work arrangement policy, the Libraries polled its staff to better understand their hybrid work experiences and their insights into WFH (working from home) vs. WFO (working from the office). 


On March 14, 2022, Drexel Professor Sharrelle Barber gave a 'food for thought' discussion on her research on race and public health during the Libraries' winter ScholarSip event.
