• Edward Said Lounge Library
  Named after the Palestinian-American professor, the Edward Said Multicultural Lounge hosts a library dedicated to Arab and Arab-American works by various authors. The library acts as a source for both historical and modern critical essays and fiction, and aims to empower Arab and Arab-American students and visitors at the University of Michigan. This library was selected for the archive as it is one of the last remaining multicultural lounge libraries accessible on the University of Michigan's campus, as well as the various resources offered through the Arab Student Organization, who host meetings within the main lounge. The library is open seven days a week, from 10am to 12am, to students living in the University of Michigan's North Quadrangle, as well as visitors who are approved by staff beforehand. Items cannot, however, be removed from the lounge. The lounge is located on the first floor of the North Quadrangle, the address of which is 105 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.
