The Library Graduating Students Selections Collection honors the essential contribution student assistants make to our work during their time at Fresno State. Their hard work and dedication make this library a better place every year. Among the largest employer of students on campus, the library could not function without their gifts and talents.
Upon graduation, student assistants select a book that is meaningful to them and the book is given a digital bookplate in their honor. Even long after graduation, students will always be able to search their name in our catalog and find their digital bookplate, a reminder of their time in the library and as a Fresno State Bulldog.
