This year’s theme for National Library Week<\/a> is Welcome to Your Library, which promotes the vital role that libraries play in offering resources and providing services for all, whether in-person or online. Our University Libraries staff and faculty have worked tirelessly to respond to library users’ needs and to adapt and innovate procedures to support student success and continuity of services. You may be facing many challenges and juggling different demands so please know that we are here for you.

From A<\/em><\/strong>pril 4 to 10<\/em>, we are celebrating (socially distanced, of course) by offering the Loyola community a variety of fun and educational activities to help us explore resources and information, build community, and foster appreciation and understanding for one another. Take a look at the week’s schedule and we hope you can join us! And, even if you are not able to participate, please remember to follow us on social @LUClibraries or @LibrariesLUC and tell us why you love Loyola University Chicago Libraries! #LoyolaChicago<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
