Neumann University Library

A bittersweet day at the library! It is with great sadness that we say goodbye and best wishes to our dear library friend, Tara Convery. Tara has been working at the library for almost twenty years and she has left an indelible mark on her coworkers and on our patrons. She always had a smiling face at the front desk, was an eager collaborator on ideas and projects, had a vision for displays and programs, was always happy to support a theme, event, or initiative, and she embodied the Franciscan values like few could hope to. Her work ethic was strong, but it was her character and personality that made her a transformative presence in our library. She lifted others up, brought humor to situations at just the right moment, and truly made the library a brighter place with her presence.

This is a happy farewell, though, as Tara is moving on to put her recently earned Neumann degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling to use. She will take her talents, her companionship, her innovative spirit, and her contagious laughter into her new role. We will all miss her at Neumann and we will miss all she brought to our library and our campus.

We’ll be back tomorrow if you can’t catch us before 4 today!

BFF! 💙💛🏀

Neumann University Library joins libraries, publishers, authors, and educators across the country in bringing awareness to Banned Books Week. From classic novels to contemporary non-fiction to children’s books, many books are banned or censored still to this day. We proudly celebrate the freedom to read and are proud to highlight some frequently banned books in our collection and current book display.

Are you looking for a spot to take your online class? The library has you covered! We have a designated area behind our print & copy glass room for students to quietly attend their online classes. This area has different options for seating including group tables and study carrels. We also have headphones available for you to use (and keep!) while taking your class. Look for the red arrow when you enter the library and grab your spot! 📚💻😷🎧

We are so excited to welcome new members to the library team! Look for them soon at a service desk or chat session near you ⭐️ 📚 👋

Keep cool while exercising your mind with a great documentary! Infobase is a great database with thousands of films to stream from campus, the couch, or even the beach 😎 https://libguides.neumann.edu/az.php

Barb Selletti will retire from the Library staff this weekend after 2+ decades of service! If you ever aced a paper because of a book or article that came via inter-library loan, then you have Barb to thank! She’ll have some more time to make incredible costumes in her retirement and we all wish her the best! 📚 🎉

Hours and service updates for the holiday weekend and next week. Enjoy the three day weekend!
