CU °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï’s Staff Council annual summer retreat featured an exciting addition to the agenda: a ribbon cutting launching an on-campus Little Free Library. Organized by Staff Council’s Belonging, Equity, Accessibility and Mattering (BEAM) Committee, the library offers books centered on diversity, equity and inclusion for all ages, with a current focus on LGBTQ+ experiences. 

The Little Free Library is designed to provide interested readers with opportunities to extend their knowledge and perspectives through ongoing book-sharing across the campus community. 

Launching this month at the ARCE building on East Campus, Staff Council is excited to see where the mobile library can roam. Organizers hope that buildings and offices across campus will host the library (indoors) throughout the year—check the Staff Council website for the library’s current location. 

Staff Council would like to add special thanks to Scott Cusack, professional research assistant in the College of Engineering and Applied Science, for his help with the construction of the library.
