Library Acquisitions

Following the three year project titled, “Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk” ending in Spring 2025, Bard College Center for Indigenous Studies (CfIS) will continue and further the work of acquiring books for the Stevenson Library, accessible to all Bard faculty, staff, students, and local community members. 

Acquisitions will focus on core Native American and Indigenous Studies texts, centering Indigenous and BIPOC authors & theorists. Significant library acquisitions will also be focused on yearly and semester based themes determined by both the Library’s and the CfIS’s dedicated staff.

With the addition of these new acquisitions, CfIS and the Bard Stevenson Library will host celebratory programming including book talks, children’s story hours, new acquisition displays & exhibitions, and making/doing workshops.
