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. "

NC State’s hallowed Brickyard will be renovated this summer as part of the Woodson Hall construction. Scheduled to take place between May 11 and August 16, the work will affect the Brickyard entrance to the Hill Library.

Starting on May 11, the ramp leading to the Hill Library’s Brickyard entrance will be closed. The stairs will remain open. The ADA ramp that goes from the Brickyard level down to the basement level will be closed. All public ADA access will be from the Hillsborough Street entrance. The Brickyard’s existing brick pavers will be replaced with new permeable pavers in the same pattern, and some areas will be regraded to improve accessibility. The regraded areas include the sidewalks in front of the Hill Library’s East Wing and South Tower.
