📅 Library Closed for Juneteenth – Thursday, June 19
In honor of Juneteenth, the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives will be closed on Thursday, June 19. There will be no building access during this time.
Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and celebrates Black freedom, resilience, and achievement. We encourage our community to take time to reflect, learn, and engage meaningfully with the significance of this day.
