We're thrilled to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Professor Pamela Patton from Princeton University for her generous donation toward our library's art book collection. Professor Patton's commitment to supporting our resources is deeply valued. Her decision to allocate her honorarium from a past speaking engagement towards the acquisition of art history books exemplifies a dedication to fostering scholarly pursuits and enriching academic environments.

With Professor Patton's contribution, we've been able to procure a range of exceptional titles recommended by Dr. Luis Pelaez and acquired by our dedicated librarians, Marianne Foley (Acquisitions Librarian) and Ginny Barnes (Art Liaison Librarian). These additions not only expand the breadth of our collection but also enhance the resources available to our students and faculty, nurturing a passion for art and scholarship within our community.

Furthermore, we're excited to announce the launch of a digital display showcasing our latest art book acquisitions, including those generously provided by Professor Patton. Developed by Ginny Barnes, this online exhibit offers a dynamic platform to explore the diverse array of materials now available in our collection. We invite you to peruse the selection at your leisure and discover the wealth of knowledge awaiting exploration.

Once again, our sincere gratitude goes out to Professor Patton and all who contribute to the continued growth and enrichment of our library.

If Fresno State faculty would like to create a similar digital display showcasing materials in our collection for their disciplines, please reach out to your subject librarian.
