Visit the displays on the first floor of the library to learn about people who have made history at Henderson.

Did you know that the XI BETA chapter of Omega Psi Phi was not only the first black fraternity on Henderson’s campus, but also the first in Arkansas to be founded at a majority-white school?

You may know about Maurice Horton, the first black student to graduate from Henderson, but do you know who the first black faculty and staff members were?

What about the first black homecoming queen?

Come by and find out!

These display will be up through the month of February.

Huie Library’s Blind Date with a Book is officially here!

Stop by the display on the first floor of Huie Library and take a chance on a Blind Date with a Book. Students, faculty, staff, and community members can participate and are encouraged to share their experience on social media with the hashtag  #HuieBlindDate.

Each book includes a “Rate Your Date” to turn in to the Circulation Desk as an entry to win a $10 Starbucks gift card. As books are checked out, the display will be restocked. If you don’t find something that speaks to you, come back later and new books will be available.

The display will be up throughout the month of February and entries will be accepted until March 1. If you have any questions, please contact Susie Kirk..
