University Libraries

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the CMU Libraries are dedicated to supporting students’ academic and personal well-being.

Recognizing a Spring 2026 graduating Libraries student employee.

Life is full of challenges, deadlines, and complex questions. National Library Week and this year’s theme, “Find Your Joy,” remind us that libraries provide support and inspiration. Libraries are places where curiosity grows.

CMU’s library has evolved from a small 1893 collection to the modern Charles V. Park Library, growing alongside the university despite setbacks like the Old Main fire of 1925—all while continuing to support student success through access to knowledge.
