OSU library celebrates authors

Wednesday, March 21, 2018

The Edmon Low Library at Oklahoma State University honored 48 OSU faculty, staff and student authors at the 12th annual Celebrating Books by OSU Authors.

The annual event serves as a way for the library to honor current OSU employees and students who have authored, co-authored or edited a book or published a major creative work such as a musical composition, art exhibit, catalog or audio recording in the past two years.

“Celebrating Books recognizes and honors these individuals' achievements and encourages academic dialogue,” said Anthony Jones, communications specialist for the OSU library and coordinator for the event. “Celebrating Books is a great way to connect our OSU authors with our community.”

The works of many of the honorees have been added to the library’s collection.
