What do you do when a student asks if the library has shelf space to house some Arabic reading material? Create free Arabic library with the support of the Saudi Students Club. The library was excited to support such a great idea and has expanded that original initiative to include reading material from other cultures.
Arthur Lakes Library conducted a diversity, equity, and social justice assessment to identify the need for collection materials that aren't normally included in the University curriculum. Resulting purchases focus on current events and global initiatives including movements involving women, the LGBTQ+ community, persons of color and the intersection between them. The full collection is located in the Browsing Room on the 2nd floor.
