April 3-9, 2022 is National Library Week. Asa H. Gordon Library will be celebrating National Library Week, Monday, April 4th – Friday, April 8th. The theme for 2022 is “Connect with your library”. As partners in the teaching and learning process, academic libraries work with faculty to teach students the skills they need to be able to find, use, and evaluate information for particular assignments or courses that will also be valuable in the workforce and for lifelong learning.
We invite YOU, the SSU community, to connect with us and to stop by the library during National Library Week for special games, prizes, workshops, presentations, and movies!
During each National Library Week, we survey our library users to help us make Asa H. Gordon Library better for the SSU community. Scan the QR code to take the survey. One survey taker who chooses to enter the drawing will win a library prize basket!
