Constitution Day celebrates the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. This year, the University of North Texas is looking at the constitutionality of a new Texas law, Senate Bill 4 (SB 4,) that goes into effect on September 1, 2017. This is a forum style discussion featuring Texas House Representative Ramon Romero, who argued vigorously against SB4, and Texas House Representative Lynn Stucky, who is a strong supporter of the new law.
This event will be live-streamed in Willis Library.
Date: Thursday, September 14th
Time: 11:00 am to 12:30pm
Location: Room 250H, 2nd floor of Willis Library
Students will be able to ask the speakers questions via Twitter using hashtags #UNT #Constitution Day. U.S. Pocket Constitutions will be available at the event or you can visit the Eagle Commons Library in Sycamore Hall to receive a copy. For questions and additional information, please contact govinfo@unt.edu.

Thank you to Paws Across Texas for bringing Pet Therapy Dogs to UNT Willis Library from 2-4pm on May 9, 1017. Over 300 people signed in to see these cute and helpful pups during the stressful time that is Finals Week!
In February, a welcome message with a custom banner and display was posted on the library website, on the ads and Twitter.
“In support of our mission to provide leadership in innovation and learning, the Public Services Division of the University of North Texas Libraries affirms the principles described in the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights and Core Values of Librarianship. We are committed to welcoming the entire UNT community, in all its diversity, to enjoy the information and services provided by the Libraries.” (News page) The story also has a list of resources on campus, and at the libraries.
