Upcoming Events

Welcome back, Dawgs! In celebration of the first day of the Fall 2026 semester, come grab a free goody bag from your Student Success Librarians in the MLC!

Need help finding a classroom or navigating your new schedule? We can help with that!

Curious about library resources and getting your semester off to a great start? We can help with that, too!

Meet us across from Jittery Joes in the MLC to set intentional goals for the fall semester! Grab a worksheet, an affirmation, and chat with a Student Success Librarian about resources that can help you achieve your goals! 

Join us for an afternoon of crafting! We’ll be creating personalized banners and garlands to decorate your dorms. Paper, cutouts, string, and decorating supplies will be provided, but please feel free to bring any materials you’d like to make your decorations more personal. This will be a relaxed event where no knowledge of crafting will be necessary. We'll show you how to make everything. So join us to chat, craft, and have a chill time!

It's (almost) Saturday in Athens!

A hands on introduction to mapping using QGIS; an open source GIS software. We will cover how to set up your spreadsheet to capture your own mappable data and how to create a simple map from an existing dataset. No experience required. This workshop will form the basis of other GIS workshops to come.

Join the Hargrett Rarebook and Manuscript Library on Thursday, September 10th at 6pm for a conversation with acclaimed American portrait and special photographer Nancy Ellison, in celebration of our newest exhibition Seeking Intrinsic Essence, Whatever Direction: The Photography of Nancy Ellison. Light refreshments will be provided. 

Free parking can be found in the Hull Street Deck after 5pm.

An introduction to the eLC AI Literacy course and other AI Literacy resources available to instructors. 

On Friday, September 18, 2026, the American Founding Group and the School of Public and International Affairs will host a celebration of Constitution Day. The centerpiece of these festivities is a lecture by Richard Primus, Theodore J. St. Antoine Collegiate Professor at the University of Michigan Law School.

Prior to the lecture, the UGA Libraries will host “Constitution on the Quad,” featuring Constitutional trivia and student readings of the Constitution. In addition, historical documents and materials related to the American founding and U.S. Constitution will be displayed at the Special Collections Libraries from the Hargrett Rare Book & Manuscript Library.

Join us on September 22 from 6:00PM-8:00PM in the MLC (rm 369) for an evening of scrapbooking and yapping! Paper and scrapbooking supplies will be provided, but please feel free to bring photos, journals, and personal touches.

College is exciting, nerve-wrecking, and often overwhelming. Many students experience anxiety, stress, depression, or grief while in school; don't navigate college alone! Join us for Wellness in the Creative Engagement Wing, a program designed to help you destress while crafting. 

In September, we'll be embroidering photos! Bring a special photo - a photo of a loved one, a pet, a happy memory, your home, anything! - that you would like to embroider, learn to stitch, and surround yourself with a supportive environment! 

Whether you are looking for a listening ear or need a quiet, calm place to retreat to, join the UGA Libraries and the UGA Health Center to craft, connect, and destress!
