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.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to play and learn more about the resources available through the library, we loved connecting with you!
