These are just four of the 20,000-plus reasons why Towson University students, faculty, staff, and community members visit Albert S. Cook Library in-person and online each week.
While many people think of rows and rows of books when they think of a library, and Cook Library does not disappoint with over 500,000 print and electronic volumes, it is the library’s stories that define this building, this research center, at the heart of Towson University’s campus.
Stories of how an Albert S. Cook Library Leadership Institute for Students (A-LIST) leadership program student, with support from a librarian mentor, created an LGBTQ+ resource guide to enhance campus diversity. Stories of how a librarian answered a faculty member’s pleas for help citing an article just before a conference proposal deadline. Stories of how library staff received a grant to bring a Holocaust-related exhibition to Maryland schools.
