Join the UGA Libraries and Franklin College for a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month! We'll be sharing free food and a variety of libraries resources on the front lawn of the Main Library.
Hispanic Heritage Month, established in 1968, is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th to honor the history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino Americans.
Join us at this year's Decatur Book Festival to celebrate the 2026 winners of the Lillian Smith Book Award! The Lillian Smith Book Awards recognize works that examine issues of race, social justice, civil and human rights, the education and socialization of young people, breaking silence among repressed groups, and matters that are significant to the changing South. This award ceremony is in partnership with the Southern Regional Council, University of Georgia Libraries, and DeKalb County Public Library’s Georgia Center for the Book.
Come celebrate the life and legacy of the diva Dolly Parton by making Dolly themed crafts in the Makerspace with friends.
Students, staff, and faculty welcome!
Brown Media Archives invites you to a night of fear and fun with an outdoor screening of "House on Haunted Hill" (1958)! Join us on the dead center of the Special Collections front lawn to witness such trepidation and terror. Ghostly archival clips from the BMA collection may have, somehow, someway, creeped their way into the main fright....we mean feature!
Free door prizes and popcorn! Picnic blankets and lawn chairs encouraged. Doors open at 6:30pm, trickery starts at 7pm!
