We are excited to unveil the newest edition of FOCUS, the official magazine of the NC State University Libraries. This issue looks back at the first decade of the Hunt Library—yes, the iconic building turned 10 already! We revisit its development from idea to opening day, the changes it's seen in such a short time, and some directions it’s heading in the future.
Other FOCUS features offer a visit by the Manchester City Football Club to the NC State Gaming and Esports Lab, a look back at the Libraries exhibit celebrating 75 years of the College of Design, and a recap of the development of our Alt-Textbook program which has saved NC State students more than $12 million in textbook costs since 2014—not to mention making teaching better and more relevant! Plus, we highlight new Libraries endowments that support our Wolf Tales archive of campus stories and scholarships for Libraries student employees.
