Session Time: 11:00- 11:15 AM
In the spring of 2023, Cornette Library hosted 50 junior and senior high school students from Claude High School, a local 1A high school, as a pilot program to build relationships not just between the university library and the school library, but between West Texas A&M University and those local students. These students received library instruction, the opportunity to use University library resources, a free lunch, and a campus tour. This pilot program involved multiple University departments, and the teacher was given the opportunity to check books out for classroom use.
