Fueling Discovery: Libraries at the Heart of Learning
About this Event
Libraries aren't just about books anymore - discover how they've evolved during Fueling Discovery: Libraries at the Heart of Learning on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at noon (CT). Forget stereotypes - today's libraries are dynamic, tech-driven, and central to lifelong learning and community engagement.
Join Kasia Gonnerman, dean of UAB Libraries, as she shares how UAB Libraries are a cornerstone of student success, providing the research expertise, learning support, and academic resources students need to thrive.
From hands on research guidance to essential technology and textbook access, the libraries help students build strong academic foundations, develop confident research skills, and turn their ideas into action.
Dean Gonnerman will highlight how the libraries empower students at every stage of their academic journey and support the whole student - intellectually, practically, and creatively.
