A yellow poster shows a quote in dark text that reads, “Costs of textbooks are out of control and are a barrier to education. One spring semester I had to choose books over heating for my apartment.” Below the quote, blue silhouettes of students walk while holding books and bags, with small icons of money, books, and devices floating above them. At the bottom left is the logo ‘AFFORDABLE & OER @ UNC,’ and at the bottom right is the hashtag ‘Student Voices.’

In observance of Juneteenth, our hours this weekend are changing, as reflected in the post. University Libraries will be closed on June 19th to celebrate.

Juneteenth, celebrated each year on June 19, commemorates the day in 1865 when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. It is a day to honor freedom, reflect on our nation's history, and celebrate Black culture, resilience, and achievement.

Thank you for your understanding, and we wish everyone a safe and meaningful Juneteenth weekend! ❤️🖤💚
