Outreach

Outreach services for the UNT Libraries include outreach to the university community, to include faculty, staff, and current and future students, and to the local community, to include local schools and museums and other interested community members.

Outreach is done by many departments in the UNT Libraries, to include the Media Library, Music Library, Rare Books and Texana, Archives, Digital Projects Unit, and the Research Park Library.

These pages have information on general outreach programs and events.  Two general outreach projects that we do to benefit the whole community are our book displays and the Book Cart Drill Team.

Displays

The first floor book displays are meant to highlight areas of the libraries' collections that may be of interest to a variety of students, faculty, staff, and community members.  They often include fun and entertaining books.
