WSU Press Open House

About the event

WSU Press celebrates its move to WSU Libraries by holding an open house from 3-5 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 13, in Holland Library’s old first-floor lobby (adjacent to the Dimensions Lab). A reception follows in Terrell Library, suite 120.

Three Pacific Northwest authors will share their expertise and experiences in a panel: Retired Seattle Pacific University associate professor Richard D. Scheuerman; ecologist, photographer, and writer Thomas Bancroft; and teacher, naturalist, and nonfiction writer Jack Nisbet.

WSU Press moved to the WSU Libraries last fall when WSU Provost Chris Riley-Tillman and WSU Libraries’ Interim Dean Trevor Bond decided to combine the press and libraries.

“The press is extraordinarily fortunate to have become part of the WSU Libraries,” said Linda Bathgate, WSU Press editor-in-chief. “We want to optimize this relationship through book talks, presentations, and events highlighting the ways in which WSU Press and the libraries support the university’s land-grant mission and provide the region with key resources for study and research. Our library colleagues have been tremendously supportive, and we have only just begun to collaborate. I see a very bright future ahead.”
