Connelly Library

March 7-11 is Open Education Week! Open education recognizes the human right to education can only be guaranteed when everyone can afford to learn. Come join faculty, librarians, staff, and students at tables throughout the week to share your stories of how the high cost of textbooks impacts your education and learn more about what La Salle is doing to meet some of these challenges!

We are hosting the Center for Academic Achievement's "In Person Tutoring Theme Week."
