Salisbury University Libraries

In an incredible SU-timed moment, dropped off a letter of thanks to the library circulation desk this morning just as we were getting ready to draft our giving day thank you message. Moments like this make it all worth it. Thank you for supporting the SU Libraries so that we can support students in every class, team, relationship, and milestone.

The SU Libraries are closed today as we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In addition to his activism and ministry, Dr. King was also an accomplished scholar who entered college early to study sociology, divinity, philosophy, and systematics.

Activism needs researchers, historians, and educators. If that's you, check out the historic records from Enduring Connections: Exploring Delmarva's Black History, a digital humanities database from the Nabb Center about Black life on Delmarva, including family relationships, community connections, the end of slavery, family reunification, work and wealth-building, and connection to the land and water. enduringconnections.salisbury.edu/
