📅 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.

Spread Holiday Cheer: Donate to the DPS Hospital School Library Book Drive!
Posted On: Monday, November 18, 2024 - 12:12 by Lesley Skalla, Ph.D.

For the past three years, the Duke Medical Center Library & Archives has hosted a holiday book drive to benefit the Durham Public Schools (DPS) Hospital School library. This year, we’re inviting students, staff, and faculty to join us in making an even greater impact!

The DPS Hospital School serves children from preschool through 12th grade who are inpatients or outpatients at Duke University Hospital, bringing a sense of normalcy and joy to their lives.

Your donation will help expand the library’s collection with much-needed science books and popular new picture books, supporting year one of their five-year collection development plan.
