with relevant resources and
be responsive to student
needs in our increasingly
digital age.

connected with your library.
I would like to welcome you to
Hunt Memorial Library at the
Fort Valley State University.
So, have you been to your
library lately?
We have added resources and
services and transformed
spaces to meet changing
needs. We are redesigning the
second floor of the library into
a learning commons model
that will allow for collabora-
tive learning, with technology-
infused furniture. This trans-
formation will not only allow
us to attract more students to
the library, but also keep them
engaged in an environment
they would like to come to
often.

diate and easy access to the
information they need from
wherever they are. To that
end, Hunt Library is making
A new location for books has been created in the library that will house Fort Valley State University faculty publi-cations. This collection of books will involve publica-tions by FVSU faculty. Stu-dents and all members of the campus community can check out these books.
The new location for Faculty Publication is on the third floor of the building where all
circulating books in the library can be found.
