The NC State University Libraries is NC State’s intellectual hub—a central component of student success, faculty research, and community building on campus and off. As the gateway to knowledge for the university community and its partners, the Libraries is NC State's competitive advantage. From the bustling Learning Commons and Makerspace at the newly-renovated D. H. Hill Jr. Library to the collaborative and immersive visualization spaces at the world-renowned James B. Hunt Jr. Library, students and faculty access the technologies, resources, spaces, and services they need to lead the next wave of innovation and entrepreneurship in North Carolina.

The Libraries' own Colin Nickels, Lead Librarian for Experiential Learning Services, is among Library Journal's 2026 Movers & Shakers Award winners. This is the sixteenth time an NC State librarian has won the award, most of any academic library. "Colin Nickels thinks about libraries as systems: interconnected networks of people, technologies, and policies that can lower barriers to access. As Lead Librarian for Experiential Learning Services at North Carolina State University Libraries, Nickels oversees The Studios, a network of learning spaces that include a makerspace, digital media and virtual reality studios, and innovation labs. Together, they serve students campuswide. " https://lnkd.in/ePNhZ5ci
