Now on view on the library's 1st floor is a series of posters commemorating and celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15).
You'll find most of the posters near Perk Up!, the library's café. Others are displayed along the wall in the study room area. You'll find a few more near the parking lot entrance to the library.
Commemorated and celebrated are the cultural contributions from different Hispanic nations and heritages, from Argentina to the U.S., from Honduras to Peru, from Mexico to Puerto Rico, along with many others.
The posters will be on display through mid-October.
Throughout the month of September, the USC Upstate Display Committee will have a display that will focus on different campus majors. As students are back on campus, they are currently either choosing majors, changing majors, or learning more of their majors. Our library has a very impressive number of materials about the different majors available at USC Upstate. This committee wanted to highlight these valuable resources for any student with this display. We could not highlight every campus major on one single display but tried to represent all the majors we could on it. All the material currently on the display is available for checkout. We are hoping that all students will see these materials and decorations and feel intrigued to learn more about these different subjects. This display will be here throughout September and then we will be preparing for our Halloween display. We are looking forward to everyone seeing this one soon.
