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: The South entrance of the library will temporarily be closed on Monday, 12/8/25, due to installation of the walk-off carpet. Please use the East entrance while the South entrance is closed. The South entrance will be re-opened before Kickback starts at 6 pm. 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."
