National Library Week

If you came into the library this week, you may have noticed our large "National Library Week" Banner behind the reference desk.

National Library Week is a time to remind our students, faculty and staff about the contribution the OSU-Tulsa library, librarians and library workers make to the OSU community everyday.

In today’s economy, libraries offer free resources to help people find jobs, complete research assignments and learn new skills. Worlds connect @ your library, with people of all ages and backgrounds finding entertainment, self-help or their place in the community. With free resources like books, e-books, online journals, DVDs and computer and wifi access, you can do better in school, tackle projects and meet with your study group.

What makes the library unique is access to trained professionals – librarians – to help people find and interpret the information they need to make a difference in their lives. Our libraries also help keep us connected, providing a space for people of all ages, classes and races to come together, while keeping us connected to events and people around the world.

If you haven't utilized the resources at the OSU-Tulsa Library please visit the website or the library space.

He had deep roots in Tulsa, surviving the Tulsa Race Riot in 1921, and graduating from Booker T. Washington in 1931 which used to stand on the current home of OSU-Tulsa campus. Haskell street in North Tulsa was eventually changed to John Hope Franklin Boulevard to honor his work.
