National Entrepreneurship Week 2026

Context note: In August 2025, a change was announced for the thematic display area near the entrance of the library. The new display initiative focused on display collaborations and intentional exhibits that highlight the intersection of academic affairs and student life.

National Entrepreneurship Week is a congressionally-chartered week celebrating entrepreneurship across the country, taking place annually on the third week of February. This year the week is celebrate on February 14-21, 2026 and the library has a collaborative display with the ChattState Business Division celebrating the week.

The congressional resolution supported the goals and ideals for a National Entrepreneurship Week so that the people of the United States are reminded of the contributions of entrepreneurs and so that educators are encouraged to reflect on how entrepreneurship education can improve the performance of their students.

In the display, you can find related books, related library databases, and information about an AAS degree from Chattanooga State.

The Denise Heinly Art Center at Chattanooga State currently has the exhibit "Shapeshifting" on display until February 26, 2026. In alignment with the refocused thematic display initiative of August 2025,  our book display focuses on sculptures as a tie-in to Raymond Padron's Shapeshifting exhibit. 

 

 

 

The blue down vest pictured from the DHAC announcement is a carved and painted basswood. There are several carved and painted basswood in the exhibit. In addition to the vest, there's a dress shirt, a holster, a leather jacket, and even a tube sock. 

The artist statement about the exhibit mentions the relationship between the traditional and improvisation and the roles we learn from that relationship. The statement mentions the tension between ideal, expected, and lived experience. Check out this amazing exhibit of wood sculptures at the DHAC until February 26, 2026.

The sculpture-related books on display at the library can be checked out and enjoyed.

 

Twenty Years of the Kolwyck Library Blog!

On October 12, 2005, librarian Dwight Hunter posted the first post on the Kolwyck Library Blog! 

This week we have a temporary display celebrating 20 years of the library blog. When discussing the possibilities of online communications presence back in 2005, we knew we wanted to create our own stories about what we were doing in the library. After researching possible platforms, we decided on the blog as way to create our own content, promote library services, and to have an online communication tool that could be followed or be linked out to other platforms.
