It’s Tuesday…you’ve got this!

[Edward G. Miner Library @minerlibrary]

On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in
Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250
,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. This
day came to be known as Juneteenth, now officially a
federal holiday. Learn more from @NMAAHC at the link in our bio.

Exactly 100 years ago the cornerstone was laid for @URochester_SMD. The inscription reads '1923' because construction was hampered when quicksand made it difficult to lay the foundation, and poor weather caused terrible construction conditions. On June 14, 1924, the foundation stone was finally installed.

Welcome to the newest Miner librarian, Beth! Beth is our Head of Collections and Systems and joined us 6 months ago. Something fun that Beth shared is that she enjoys sewing clothes in her spare time and her goal is to have a completely me-made wardrobe by the end of 2024!
