Gracias y que tengas un buen día.

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 through October 15. The dates were selected to commemorate Independence days for several individual Hispanic Countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua all celebrate their freedom on September 15th; other countries with close dates are Mexico (Sept. 16), Chile (Sept. 18), and Belize (Sept. 21). The purpose of the month long observance is to remember the ancestral heritage/culture of Hispanic American Citizens.

As a federal depository library, we provide free access to and reference service for publications issued by the federal government to the general public as well as the campus community. Call numbers for government documents may be found by using the library’s GIL online catalog at http://gil.gru.edu.

The Reference Desk on the 1^st floor of the library will provide assistance anytime the library is open. The documents librarian and staff, whose offices are located on the 2^nd floor, are more than happy to assist all patrons in accessing government documents. Government Information staff can be reached by phone at (706) 667-4914 or in person, Monday – Friday, 8:30-5:00. For questions requiring extensive assistance, please contact the Government Information department at govinfo@aug.edu.
