September is National Suicide Prevention Month.  The University Library and Student Counseling Center have come together to provide recommended readings focused on topics of mental illness, suicide, recovery and inspiration.  A physical book display will be featured in the library during the first half of September while e-books will be linked on this guide throughout the entire month.  Click on the National Suicide Prevention Month tab at the left for the full list of readings.  

During Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15) the University Library has created a physical display featuring books that showcase Latinx voices and experiences.  We have also put together a virtual display featuring the works of prominent Hispanic authors, along with materials that discuss Hispanic culture and history.  Visit the Hispanic Heritage Month tab at the left for more information and resources. 

Please also be sure to check out the Chican@ Studies Research Guide.  The guide was created to help find resources and materials at the University Library in areas such as history, political science, sociology, literature and more that relate to Mexican American, Latinx, Chicanx communities living in the United States. 

September 25 is the day to celebrate comics and graphic novels.  The University Library now houses a growing number of both of these genres on the first floor!  The collection includes a wide range of comics, graphic novels, manga as well as scholarship on comics studies. Examples include comics related to superheroes, comic strips, non-fiction & memoirs, science fiction, horror, young adults, and more. The library also has a special collection of Latinx comics which contains over 100 comics and graphic novels by and about Hispanic/Latinx authors and artists and/or feature Hispanic/Latinx characters.  For more information on the collection, please visit the Comics and Graphic Novels Research Guide.
