Veterans Day Celebration at AU Libraries: Recognizing Family Service

In honor of Veterans Day, the AU Libraries staff is honoring its family members who served in the United States Armed Forces.

The display alternates every other year between Greenblatt and Reese libraries and is organized to honor the holiday. This year, it is at Greenblatt. In 2026, it will be housed at Reese.

The second floor of Greenblatt Library displays a tribute to AU Libraries staff’s family members who served. Beside the display, a whiteboard invites AU students, faculty, and staff to honor veterans in their families as well. Wil Petty/AU Libraries.

In addition to honoring the staff’s family who served, a whiteboard placed next to the display allows students to honor their family and friends who served or currently serve in the military.

Veterans Day is celebrated on the anniversary of the end of the First World War, Nov. 11, 1918. Its purpose is to honor men and women in the armed services, past and present. The display will remain up throughout November.
