In recognition of National Library Week, the Central University Libraries (CUL) will hold their fourth annual CUL cookout Tuesday and Wednesday in the courtyard of Fondren Library West.

CUL will serve free hot dogs, cookies and drinks to students from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. while promoting library services.

While the CUL committee enjoys the smell of the hot dogs on the grill, they like discussing the resources that the library has to offer.

“Our Library Public Services staff will be on hand demonstrating several of our online resources, such as the library catalog and Discovery platform,” said Terre Heydari, a library specialist and vendor liaison for CUL.

This year, the Ask-a-Librarian service, which unites students who need assistance in finding information with librarians will be available.

“[The event] celebrates the ways in which libraries are important to the communities in which they reside and how they make a difference in the lives and education of the people,” Heydari said.
