MONROE -- ULM has a new addition to it's library, and it's the only one of it's kind in the region.
On Friday morning, educators and organizers held the grand opening of the ULM Multicultural Library.
It's a satellite of the main library, but dedicated to literature focusing on histories and cultures from around the world.
"It allows us to really see ourselves within a book but also to peer through that book as a window into another culture," said Lynn Clark, organizer and DREAM director. "It's really hard to find good multicultural literature together in one place."
The library also features a video production room and international student lounge, as well as unique finds like the Harry Potter collection in several languages.
It's funded by the Board of Regents and New York-based Carmel Hill Education Fund, which runs an internship program at ULM and pledged $25,000 to help supply the multicultural library with books.
