Please join us on Saturday, August 29, 2026 to celebrate 75 years of MD Anderson Library!

The MD Anderson Library was occupied in 1950 and dedicated on April 1, 1951. 75 years later, we are commemorating the legacy of our Library, the heart of the University, and looking toward the future of a Reimagined Library.

Registration opens May 2026.
