Georgia O'Keeffe and Texas

Pardon Our Noise

We wish to apologize for construction noise in the building. The library is currently undergoing renovations to increase the safety of the building. Please look at the Cornette Library Maintenance and Renovations Libguide for more information.

Door Closure Update: The South entrance of the library will temporarily be closed through Tuesday, 11/18/2025 due to some maintenance on the security gates. The East entrance into the library will be opened temporarily while the South entrance is closed. Once the repair work at the South entrance is completed, the South entrance will re-open and the East entrance will be closed again. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

"I lived on the plains of North Texas for four years," she wrote in 1919. "It is the only place I have ever felt that I really belonged--that I really felt at home." ... "But I belonged," O'Keeffe told a friend. "That was my country--terrible winds and a wonderful emptiness."
