Krueger Library - Winona State University

06/19/2026

The Darrell W. Krueger Library is closed today in observance of Juneteenth.

Don't let closures discourage you from reading up on this important commemoration of emancipation: all community members on and off campus in the state of Minnesota can access online library resources with eLibraryMN (elibrarymn.org)

Unsure where to start still? We recommend starting with this set of resources compiled by the Minnesota Historical Society: mnhs.org/juneteenth/sources.

Ever wondered who Holzinger Lodge is named after?

The students at Winona Normal School learned botany in the field -- literally.

Their professor, John Holzinger, taught them during outdoor excursions and through specimens that he had spent years collecting. The Winona Republican-Herald wrote that during his time, Holzinger had “laid the foundation upon which a greater part of the present day men and women of southeastern Minnesota have built their knowledge and love of the outdoors.”

One of the botany classes appears here, about to cycle away to their next open-air "classroom."

Moving out and wondering what to do with that half-used skein of yarn? The Library has a craft supply drive box in our entranceway!

More Crafty Fun is coming to the library this fall. Instead of throwing out your unwanted craft supplies, donate it to the WSU library! It'll serve creative Warriors of the future.

We are especially looking for: yarn, thread, embroidery floss, magazines, decorative papers, stickers, and junk journaling/paper crafting supplies!
