Celebrate National Great Outdoors Month with the ERL!

Adventure is closer than you think. Explore books that inspire curiosity about nature, discover the world around you, and maybe even take your reading outside.

Did you know OU is home to two biological preserves with forests, meadows, streams, and wetlands? Pair your next great read with a walk on the Alice R. Champion Nature Trail and enjoy the outdoors right here on campus.

Stop by the ERL, find a book, get outside, and repeat!

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Stop by the ERL to explore a collection of children’s and young adult books that highlight Asian American and Pacific Islander voices, stories, histories, and cultures. From graphic novels and picture books to nonfiction and award-winning fiction, our display celebrates the richness and diversity of AAPI experiences across generations and communities.

All books are available to browse and check out through the ERL.
