Southeastern Library selected as Louisiana Academic Library of the Year

Southeastern Louisiana University’s Linus A. Sims Memorial Library has been selected by The Louisiana Library Network (LOUIS) as the Louisiana Academic Library of the Year.

The nomination focused on the library’s efforts to create a “third space” for students, its partnerships with other departments and the wider community, and efforts to retain student usage levels with several disruptions.

Sims Library is the fourth ULS library to win the award following UNO in 2023, ULL in 2020, and Nicholls in 2016.

The award was presented at the LOUIS Users Conference at the Pennington Center in Baton Rouge earlier this month.
