u/USU_Aggies_Library

Hey there!

Just popping in to congratulate everyone on making it through another semester! We really do see you, the work you put in, and we're proud to serve such an incredible community.

A few housekeeping things your library friends want you to be aware of:

🎓 To Our Graduating Aggies who are NOT Returning:

First, congrats. 💙 We're going to miss seeing you in our spaces but we're so excited for your next chapter. If you are not returning to USU, we want you to know that, as Alumni, you'll still have access to our libraries, albeit limited to our physical locations.

Check out our online guide for more info.

🏫 For Everyone Coming Back in the Fall:

We hope you have an amazing summer! If you want to knock out some summer reading, be sure to check out the Libby app where you can access thousands of free audiobooks and e-books just by logging in with your A-number. Every month, we have a Libby book of the month that you can access, no wait times or holds. For example, starting May 1st, you can access Yellowface by R.F. Kuang in honor of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. We've also put together a curated reading list of diverse books tied to America 250!

Visit our Libby Guide for help getting set up with Libby.

🛠️ Help Us Plan Fall Workshops:

Finally, we want to offer workshops you want to attend! Take this short survey and tell us which workshops we should put on this fall.

That's all for now! As usual, we're here for research consultations, to connect you with resources, or otherwise just help! 🙂 Be sure to check in with library.usu.edu to stay up to date with our calendar!

Have a great summer! 🎉
