Kresge Library / Oakland University

OU Libraries’ Sustainability Committee is excited to announce a new recycling initiative: bread tags!

These pesky little plastic tags are hard to recycle normally, but a charity in Indiana, Danielle Cares for Chairs, uses them to raise funds for children's wheelchairs!

Drop off your tags in this jar located in the Sustainability Corner near the Service Desk. 🦽♻️

The winner who guessed the closest number of M&Ms was Addison Bielecki!

The total number of M&Ms was 5,013, with 1081 being yellow. Alicia guessed 5,115 total and 1,752 yellow, which is 102 and 671 more than the actual number!

Addison, please stop by the Dean’s office (300 KL) at Kresge Library with a picture ID to claim your container of M&Ms. Congratulations! 🍬

Thank you to the past, present, and future library workers whose efforts keep Kresge Library a great place to be. Whether it’s creating programs and collections, or just being a smiling face for patrons to see, you are greatly appreciated for all that you do. 🖤💛

We are proud to host the final project for Professor Tim Donahue's ENG 3420 course, American Literature 1865-1920.

The students created this collaborative project that examines the unfulfilled promise to newly freed Black families in the South of "40 acres and a mule."

Come see this project on the main floor of the library, behind the cafe. It will be here until the end of finals! If you'd like to read the students' writing online, visit https://bit.ly/48aegPH
