Nicholls State University-Ellender Library

Join Ellender Memorial Library in celebrating Juneteenth-a day of freedom, reflection, and resilience. Today we honor Juneteenth and the enduring achievements and contributions of Black Americans.

Check out our Juneteenth resources! Located on the first floor of the library, this display includes information and ebooks related to Juneteenth. Can't make it over in the next few days? No problem! It will be up all throughout June!

Hey, Colonels! Due to incoming inclement weather the library will close at 7pm today, June 17th. We will reopen at 8am, June 18th. Stay safe and dry out there!

The library will be closed on Friday, June 19th in observance of Juneteenth. We will reopen on Sunday, June 21 at12:30pm.

Most people bring back souvenirs of their travels but our Archivist brings back history instead! Our University Archivist, Clifton Theriot, recently traveled to Greece with the Nicholls Chamber Choir. While there, he collected posters and programs from the choir's performances. These will be preserved in the Archives as part of Nicholls history.

Help us celebrate America's 250th Anniversary with our America 250 display on the first floor of the library! This display was a group effort with Jade and Mary Katherine taking the lead along with Andrew, April, and Lady helping out with some of the finer details. Great work, team! This display will be available on the first floor of the library throughout June and July.

Help us congratulate our Employee of the Month, Jessica Hawkes!🌟👏

Jessica wears many hats, from stepping into her new role as Electronic Resources Librarian to tackling ADA compliance and our upcoming Alma/Primo LMS migration. Despite an incredibly full plate, her colleagues highly praise her for being a stellar mentor.

She always makes time to patiently answer questions, guide others through complex library workflows, and offer a supportive ear. Jessica is as genuine and pleasant as she is hardworking, and we're so lucky to have her on our team.

Thank you for everything you do! 📚✨
