More about book displays at Lemieux Library:

Displays are a valuable part of the Lemieux Library and McGoldrick Learning Commons outreach and highlight a variety of titles in our collections. Displays provide an excellent opportunity for the Library to engage in collaborative projects with students and the broader Seattle University community, to encourage and support intellectual, creative, and cultural pursuits. We prioritize accepting student-led display collaborations and displays from Seattle University affiliates, so if you have suggestions for future displays, please reach out.
