How we celebrated APIDA Heritage Month
|
Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) Heritage Month is May, but the University of Arizona honors it in April while most students are still on campus.
We shared more historical snaps on social media, and University of Arizona Press staff chose five books by APIDA authors to spotlight. Publicity Manager Mary Reynolds shared her insight about what makes these books timely reads.

Spring finals study break activities get an A+

Between the Main Library and Health Sciences Library, students could take a much-deserved study break and watch a movie, get drop-in reference help from our staff, grab free snacks, and of course, love on therapy dogs at the Pause for Paws event.

Get growing with our free Seed Library
|
The Seed Library is a selection of seeds (usually seasonal) restocked throughout the semester, easy to grow, and great for beginners. Some of the seeds include veggies (tomato, beans, carrots) and flowers to grow in your garden or containers.

Who we are: meet our staff
|
More than 200 people work in nine departments (often behind-the-scenes) to keep the University Libraries safe, clean and running smoothly.
Niko Sanchez is the Digital Design and Fabrication Specialist in CATalyst Studios, our makerspace. "I'm of Mescalero, Polish, and Mexican decent, and it's really important that I can support people from similar backgrounds with the design and fabrication tools I'm trained in."
A man of many talents, in February Niko won the People's Choice Award in the University of Arizona annual On Our Own Time staff art exhibit for one of his paintings.
