NSUOK Libraries

This photo features some of JVL's faculty and staff preparing to head to the Fall 2026 Opening Meeting earlier this week. We wish you all a wonderful fall semester!

Come join us at the John Vaughan Library on Tahlequah campus for an exciting Welcome Week evening event of games, snacks, crafting, and karaoke! Wednesday, August 12, from 6-8 p.m.

Weather permitting, from June 1st to 5th, the JVL building will be closed for electrical work. Many of our staff and faculty will be working from home to make sure we can still be as helpful as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience, and we will be looking forward to having our doors back open and our patrons visiting again!

NSU Libraries wish everyone good luck on their finals!

Friday, April 24th, during the final Education seminar before graduation, 40 free book bags were distributed to our Elementary and Early Childhood graduating students. Each bag is filled with carefully selected children’s literature to help begin building future classroom libraries across Oklahoma this fall. Each collection includes award-winning and popular titles, thoughtfully chosen to support engaging, high-quality reading experiences for students. This initiative was made possible through a grant from the Kerr Foundation and organized in partnership with NSU Libraries.

John Vaughan Library presents a Trail of Tears speaking event with guest speakers Dr. Candessa Tehee (Northeastern State University) and Danny McCarter (Cherokee Nation). The event will be held Thursday, April 16 at 6pm in the Library Auditorium (Classroom 162). Please use East entrance (by Haskell Hall) to access the Auditorium.

The JV Library was excited to participate in last week’s First Year Bash! We had a wonderful time engaging with NSU first-year students through our interactive “Spin the Wheel” game, featuring fun library resource questions and prizes for participants. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to play and learn more about the resources available through the library, we loved connecting with you!

Christel Poston is honored to represent Northeastern State University Libraries as an Oklahoma Library Association member and conference speaker at the Oklahoma Library Association 2026 Conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Grateful to be connecting with fellow library professionals, sharing ideas, and supporting the continued growth and innovation of libraries across Oklahoma.
