At Cowles Library, we are committed to curating a diverse range of digital and physical materials, available for the entire campus to explore and enjoy. Every month, our librarians spotlight important topics that resonate with the community, supporting both academic and personal interests.

This month, we are proud to feature Banned Books Week and Hispanic Heritage Month.

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month
Cowles Library honors Hispanic Heritage Month with a curated collection that celebrates the rich and vibrant history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic communities. Dive into a selection of fiction, nonfiction, and films that showcase this legacy through art, history, and powerful storytelling.

Banned Books Week: September 22–28
Join us in recognizing Banned Books Week, a celebration of the freedom to read. Since 1982, Banned Books Week has highlighted the importance of open access to information. Our collection sheds light on challenged and banned books, inviting you to reflect on the ongoing efforts to protect intellectual freedom.

Stop by Cowles Library or visit our Featured Collections page online to explore these and other highlighted materials. We look forward to sharing these collections with you!
