The grand opening of the William F. White Jr. Library welcomes the community and students to celebrate its latest renovations on Thursday, April 10.

After three years of construction, the White Library opened its doors again in January with new facilities and services for students on the Heritage Campus. To celebrate this milestone, Del Mar College President and CEO Dr. Mark Escamilla will be speaking at the event with the Chair of the Board of Regents Carol Scott, Dean of Learning Resources Cody Gregg, and the first Poet Laureate of Corpus Christi Alan Berecka.

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees can tour the library’s resources, view a historical exhibit and art gallery, attend demonstrations of services led by faculty members, and take in the scenic view of the city from the library’s fifth floor.

Refreshments and snacks will be available, including around coffee samples from the newly opened café, cookies to commemorate Del Mar’s 90th anniversary, and more.

The grand opening events will take place at 1 p.m. outside between the Heldenfels Administration Building and the Solomon M. Coles Classroom Building.
