The strike is over & our Ask a Librarian service is back to its normal hours. No appointments needed, stop by between 9:30 - we am & 2:30-4 pm. Also who wants to design us a new sign?!

Our services may be limited next week. Call or stop by for availability.

We have new hours for the semester!

Our hours have changed for the Fall semester. We are closed on Saturdays & closed one hour earlier during the week.

We are closed on Monday in honor of Juneteenth. Check out our latest blog for more resources & reading lists & local events for Juneteenth https://library.csum.edu/blog/Juneteenth-2023

During the summer, our only branch library on the Training Ship Golden Bear is open for everyone on board during the training cruise. We freshened the library up this year, updating books and adding games, paint-by-number canvases to decorate the walls, a 3-d printer, crafts-to-go kits, and GoPro cameras. Thanks also to Captain Bannister for the carpet cleaning!

You can also follow Cal Maritime's International Experience https://www.csum.edu/international-experience/follow-the-adventure.html
and TSGB Cruise https://www.csum.edu/tsgb-cruise/blog/ to see what everyone's up to this summer.

The Library is open 0900-1600 M-F during the summer. Stop by for peace and quiet, something to read, a view of the Strait, and our massage chairs....

Here's a shallow dive (sorry) into shipwrecks, economic and historical value, and maritime law!

Wreckonomics: “Finders Keepers” in Maritime Law - JSTOR Daily Finding valuable treasure underwater is more complicated than “finders keepers, losers weepers.” Competing maritime laws govern the recovered riches.

The Library will be closed Nov. 11 for Veterans Day, open as usual Nov. 12-13.

June 19, 1865, two years after President Abraham Lincoln presented the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, slaves in confederate states finally received word that they were free.

Freedom is a thread, and a fight, woven through this nation's history and current political climate. Continue to take action to celebrate and ensure true freedom for all through awareness of racial disparities, mobilization, and bold actions necessary to further the fight for social justice and equal opportunity.
