This image is a collage promoting Cougar Commons at Washington State University Libraries. It shows multiple interior photos of a large, open library study area with rows of desks, computer workstations, bookshelves, and overhead fluorescent lighting. Visible signage reads “Cougar Commons,” and branding elements include WSU Libraries, the #CougsGive campaign logo, and the date April 15. The design uses WSU’s crimson color blocks to frame the photos, emphasizing the library space as a shared, student-focused study and learning environment.

Cougar Commons is a brand-new student space in the #WSUPullman Terrell Library for all students, open when the Libraries are open- it's already getting use, but your gifts can help make it even better!

Reminder - tomorrow (Tuesday, 2/24) is **not** the day to come in to #WSUPullman's Holland & Terrell Libraries for some early reading, studying, or whatever -- it's gonna be **loud**! It will be back to normal by 9am, however.

A spacious library study area with large floor‑to‑ceiling windows overlooking other WSU campus buildings. The room has patterned carpet in shades of gray and crimson, several upholstered chairs arranged in small groups, and a row of seating along the windows. A few people sit at tables on the right side of the room. Two large columns are positioned near the center of the space.

Next Tuesday (2/24) it's going to be *loud* in the #WSUPullman Terrell Library early in the morning! Cores will be drilled to allow for flush power and Ethernet for our new Cougar Commons space. It should be done by 9am, but if not drilling will continue early on the 25th.

Readings will include poet Maksym Kryvstov, whose poem written shortly before his death, inspired the cover art of the Lost Horse Press Poetry series title, A Ukrainian Dictionary of War, which is distributed by the @WSU_Press.

A digital event poster titled “As Long as A Writer is Read, They’re Alive” in large blue and orange text. Beneath the title, the poster announces an event honoring fallen Ukrainian poets on the 4th anniversary of Russia’s full‑scale invasion, with opening remarks by Dr Colin Cross, a WSU Honors College professor. The details list the date, February 24th, 2026, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm, followed by refreshments in the Terrell Library Atrium. The left side of the poster features a vertical collage of monochrome photographs depicting people reading, writing, or holding books. The WSU Libraries logo appears in the upper right corner on a gray background.

Please join us at the #WSUPullman Terrell Library for an event honoring fallen Ukrainian poets on Feb. 24th from 1:30pm-2:30pm.

As WSU President Betsy Cantwell notes in her letter this issue, a primary value of a WSU, or any college, education is a “literacy of learning” so students can navigate change and evolving knowledge beyond graduation. “It’s the ability to evaluate information critically, manage your time and resources, communicate clearly, and take initiative without waiting for direction,” she writes. The president’s insights hold true even for those of us who graduated many years ago. WSU taught me and generations of Cougs how to read well, write clearly, understand science and philosophy, and build skills to use throughout our lives. The learning doesn’t just end. It’s crucial that we continue to sharpen our many literacy skills to grasp an ever more complex world.

As #WSU President Betsy Cantwell notes in her letter this issue, literacy is "the ability to evaluate information critically, manage your time and resources, communicate clearly, and take initiative without waiting for direction.”
