Congratulations to our graduating Library student employees: Gracey Copeland, Nadia Grullon, Sheridan Nash, and Amy Perez! 🎓

Each of these students has made EKU Libraries a better place through their hard work, kindness, creativity, and dedication. We are so grateful to have had them as part of our team and community.

We can’t wait to see where your next chapters take you, and we know you’ll do amazing things. Congratulations, graduates — we’re cheering you on every step of the way! 🐿️

Yesterday, EKU Libraries offered its first Plant Workshop, led by Sierra Herald, our very own library plant expert 🪴. Students learned about properly caring for and propagating plants, then selected a cutting and potted it to take home!

If you love plants but missed this event, make sure to stop by our Propagation Library, located just inside the main entrance of the Crabbe Library. You can also join us Monday, May 4th from 11am-1pm for a plant-themed Pop Up Library in front of the main entrance. There will be books, plant things, AND popsicles! See you there! 🌱

Running on caffeine, vibes, and questionable sleep schedules? 😵‍💫

And here we see evidence of students preparing for finals in their natural habitat, the Library 🤓

We had the best time celebrating AND National Library Week all on the same day! 📚
