The Lydia M. Olson Library is asking students, faculty, staff, and the general public to participate in a library user satisfaction survey to help us serve you better.
Once the survey is completed, individuals will have a chance to be entered in a drawing and win a $100 Amazon gift card or one of several $20 Starbucks cards.
All responses to the survey will be held in confidence. No identifying
links between responses and the individual responding will be retained. Combined data only will be reported.
The Lydia M. Olson Library is offering a free service to help you preserve your COVID-19 vaccination record. After receiving your final shot (either the second Moderna/Pfizer shot or the single Johnson & Johnson shot), bring your vaccination card to Olson Library to make a laminated copy. We will copy your card and laminate the copy free of charge!
It is important to note that since it is unknown how the vaccination cards will be used in the future, including whether booster shots will be needed, we are not offering to laminate the original card.
Current NMU students, faculty, and staff can take advantage of this free service through August 20, 2021. We may open the service to other community members and/or extend the service in the future.
Need a space for late-night studying? Stressed about perfecting your group project? The Lydia M. Olson Library is offering extended hours the weekend before finals and during finals week. The hours are as follows:
From now through Monday October 24th the Olson Library is hosting Americans and the Holocaust, a traveling exhibition that examines Americans’ responses to Nazism, war and genocide in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. What did Americans know, and what more could have been done? The exhibition--from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. in conjunction with the American Library Association -- also presents stories of individual Americans, some of whom took actions that went against the grain at the time, daring to rescue Jews from Europe.
Our first event is this Thursday at 7pm in HRDN 224. Dr. Robbie Goodrich will speak on Genocidalism. See link for description and additional events, both here at at the Peter White Public Library.

The American Red Cross will be hosting a blood drive on the main floor of the Lydia M. Olson Library from 10:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 30th.
While there has been a significant and encouraging response to the dire need for blood across the nation, the American Red Cross needs more people to give in the weeks ahead to recover from its worst blood shortage in more than a decade.
Considering the COVID-19 pandemic, the Red Cross employees have implemented added precautions to ensure blood drives and donation centers are safe for donors and staff.

After receiving the booster shot or final vaccination bring your card to Olson Library to make a laminated copy. You are welcome to bring family members' cards for lamination. We will copy the vaccination card and laminate the copy free of charge. Since it is unknown how the vaccination cards will be used in the future, and considering the introduction of booster shots, we are not offering to laminate the original card.
For community members and those without a university registered parking pass, we suggest to visit the Library on weekends or during Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 22-24), as there will be more parking available. For more parking information, visit NMU Parking Services.
