The Student Library Service Bookplate Program honors the Libraries’ graduating student employees by inviting them to choose new books to add to the Libraries’ collections. Each item receives a bookplate that acknowledges the student’s selection and honors their service to the Libraries and fourteen students were honored this year.
This exhibit on the Berry Library brickway features twelve student employees and their selections.
