Walker Library's Pop-Up Collections

Guide to pop-up collections at Walker Library

As 2024 is a federal election year, we at James E. Walker Library want to make sure our students and patrons are well-informed about the issues being debated and decisions being made in our governing bodies. The Vote Responsibly display includes titles* divided into three primary sections:

  1. Understanding the Electoral Process
  2. Know the Issues
  3. Party Politicking

We also have Constitution pamphlets and buttons donated by the American Democracy Project on campus. Feel free to take them with you!

Download the GoVoteTN mobile application to see a list of polling sites and candidate information!
