A summer library instruction for a math class gave Natalie the idea to create tailored LibGuides to reach out to various disciplines, extra-curricular activities and student clubs to showcase the library's well-curated online services to continue supporting its community. From "contactless calculators" to "De-stress online with the Library" with LibGuides, outreach doesn't have to be out of reach!
