Harding University Brackett Library

🎉 The theology library move is complete! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this move a success. We’ve officially settled into our new space, but we’re still putting on the finishing touches to make everything ready for you.

We’ll be announcing our official opening day very soon, so stay tuned. We are so excited to share our new space with you!

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Brackett Library will be closed through the holiday weekend and will reopen on Tuesday. We wish everyone a safe and fun Independence Day!

The move is off to a great start! Thousands of volumes have already made the journey to their new home, and every day brings us one step closer to the finish line.

To commemorate the historic move, the library staff are sporting special T-shirts today. Thank you for your patience during this transition. We look forward to welcoming you to the new space soon!

Hey Bison Bound! Join us RIGHT NOW for the Academic Fair in the GAC!

The move from Memphis to Searcy has officially begun! Over the next several weeks, thousands of books will be carefully relocated as we continue this exciting transition. If all goes according to plan, the move is expected to be completed by the end of July. We look forward to welcoming you to the completed space soon!

🎓✨ Senior Spotlight: Valentina ✨🎓

Valentina, from Honduras, has been a cherished part of our library team for the past 3 years! She is graduating with a degree in Applied Studies in Science/Mathematics.
After graduation, Valentina plans to return home to Honduras. 🌎

When reflecting on her time in the library, Valentina shared:
“I have a lot of memories I love from the library, but I think my favorite is from last year when we all had dinner at Mrs. Breezeel’s place. I remember we laughed a lot, and it felt special because it was one of the first times I ever saw so many of the staff and my coworkers outside the library. I already like everyone a lot, so interacting with them in a more comfortable atmosphere felt special :). I also really liked last year’s training day before classes started because we were all competitive while also having fun.”

We are so grateful for the joy and community Valentina has brought to the library. We will miss her and wish her all the best as she returns home! 💛
