Calling all cooks and book lovers!

In honor of Edible Book Day, Lindell Library is hosting its first ever Edible Book Festival on Friday, March 31, 2023, at 3:00 pm.

An edible book is any dish based on a book or literary theme. Books, poems, short stories, or even graphic novels can serve as inspiration.

All faculty, staff, and students are welcome to submit an entry. Please register your dish and the book that inspired it no later than Thursday, 3/30/23.

Examples from other libraries’ events can be found at http://bit.ly/42y4SAK and http://bit.ly/3ZXJ0gF.

Even if you don’t submit an entry, please stop by to admire – and EAT – the edible books!

To register or for more information, contact Mary Hollerich at [email protected] or x1603.

Community jigsaw puzzle completed! (Minus one missing piece.) Another puzzle is ready to go. Stop in if you're on campus during spring break or when you get back after!

Have a safe and relaxing break.

The library will be open 10am-4pm on December 21-23. The building will be closed December 24-January 3, but we will still be checking our email, so if you need help over break, send an email to [email protected]. Our electronic resources are available 24/7 at https://library.augsburg.edu.

Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving. The library will be closed Thursday through Saturday for the Thanksgiving holiday. We will reopen at 2 pm on Sunday, November 29.

It's here! Give to the Max is an annual fundraising event that helps us serve the Augsburg community. This year, we are continuing to raise money to digitize a collection of historic football films that were pulled out of the attic in Si Melby Hall. Your donation helps us preserve Auggie history!

The Catalpa trees in front of the library are in bloom.

In line with President Pribennow's message to the campus today, the library will not be open Thursday and Friday to allow our staff and students to take some time away from work to be active in the community and take some quiet time to reflect. We must create the space to mourn, to express our pain and anger, and to come together as a community to build resolve for our future work.

The library staff would like to encourage everyone to pause to mourn Mr. Floyd’s murder and commit ourselves to the important work ahead.

Library staff were unable to get to the building to be there for curbside pickup today. We will be there Monday. Stay home and stay safe.

The library building will be closed for the rest of the summer, but we are still here virtually. We've got virtual research desk via Zoom, electronic resources galore, and curbside pickup of physical materials. More info: https://library.augsburg.edu/COVID-19
