Sturgis Library update!

The old carpet on the ground floor is mostly gone, and the walls are prepped for paint! New walls awaiting doors and paint are on the third floor, and our Collections Management team is hard at work vacuuming books and shelves and reorganizing parts of our collection to free up shelf space and make the stacks more accessible.

Stay tuned for more progress updates throughout the summer! 🚧🔨📚

There’s someone new at the check out desk at Johnson Library on the Marietta campus!

Meet Mary Flores. She joined the University Libraries team in April as a User Services Associate, and helps patrons find information, troubleshoot the printer, use library resources, and encourages them to check out more fiction books!

Mary is a U.S. Navy veteran and graduated with a degree in marketing and a degree in business administration from Columbia College of Missouri. Previously, she worked at the Sequoyah Regional Library in Canton, GA as a Service Associate before joining KSU.

Outside of work, she enjoys volunteering with Trees Atlanta, spending time with family, and working towards her goal of biking the entire Silver Comet Trail.

Please join us in welcoming Mary to the team! 👏✨📚

to when service dogs in training visited Johnson Library on the Marietta campus!

The dogs and their puppy raisers stopped by last month for some real-world practice. They got lots of attention from staff and students, and we were delighted to host them.

Thank you to the pups from Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind and America's VetDogs for stopping by! 🐾♥️
