In celebration of Black History Month, there will be two book displays in Memorial Library for everyone to check out.
One display focuses on books dedicated to learning about race and racial justice.
A second display focuses on children’s picture books for and representing Black American and Black-Diasporic lives, histories, and experiences. This display will be located in the Teaching Materials Center.
The book displays will appear throughout the month of February. Ask a librarian if you are interested in using one of these books!
Just in time for Spring 2024, the Teaching Materials Center is open again! Come on in and reclaim your favorite studying spot or check out some materials for your lesson plans.

The SUNY Cortland Memorial Library is partnering with the SUNY Cortland Epsilon Chi chapter of Kappa Delta Pi to promote literacy skills in children through the Books and Bears program. The Books and Bears program was created by SUNY Cortland students and members of the honor society. The event will promote literacy through hands-on activities revolving around children’s literature and informational books about bears. At the end of the FREE program, each child will receive a book and a beanie baby to take home.
