25 years later, we still remember. Today marks a quarter of a century since the tragic events of 9/11. We pause to honor the innocent lives lost and the incredible bravery displayed in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. We will never forget.

Happy Labor Day! Today, we recognize and celebrate the contributions of workers whose efforts help strengthen our communities every day. UT Libraries is closed today and will reopen on Tuesday, Sept. 8. For the latest library hours and services, visit lib.utk.edu/hours.
