Many Lakers grew up with summer reading contests at local public libraries, but Penfield Library’s yearlong Reading Contest was brand new when it started this fall (2025). SUNY Oswego students are invited to enter the contest by reading any book they choose and filling out a short Google Form.

SUNY Oswego’s Pluralism Committee invites you to apply for our Pluralism mini-grants for Spring 2026 in advance of its Feb. 18 deadline. The goal of these grants is to build an institutional commitment to pluralism while enhancing the values of respect, cooperation and relation.

To that end, the Pluralism Committee, with support from InterFaith America, is pleased to award ten $500 grants to faculty, staff and student organizations that seek to incorporate pluralism into their class content and/or university events.

Penfield Library is seeking submissions from faculty and staff for Display to Archives 2025-2026. Display to Archives is Penfield Library's ongoing effort to collect, recognize, exhibit and promote access to the creative and scholarly work of SUNY Oswego's faculty and staff.
