OWU Libraries

National Library Week is coming to a close. As we reflect on this year’s theme, Find Your Joy, we find it currently captures the season we’re in at OWU Libraries.

From mentoring students interested in the library profession to the planning for and anticipation of our new building and upgraded spaces, we are leaning into the joy of growth. If you have a minute...
