Congratulations to our September Library of the Month, University of Pikeville
Posted 12th September 2025
Each month we select a Library of the Month to honor libraries who have been using our library technologies in interesting and innovative ways, from creating well-curated reading lists with Talis Aspire to driving usage of library content with Lean Library.
The winning library will be awarded a prize to share amongst their team or a donation to a charity of their choice as a way for us to say thank you.
This month’s winner is: University of Pikeville
University of Pikeville (UPIKE) is a private, liberal arts university located in Pikeville, Kentucky, United States. Founded in 1889, around 2,000 students currently attend UPIKE.
We’ve awarded them our Library of the Month Award for September, as they are great advocates of both Lean Library and Lean Library Workspace. Lean Library Workspace is the latest offering from Lean Library which provides libraries and their users with an all-in-one offering that supports the entire research journey, from content discovery and access through to authoring work.
We asked Edna Fugate, CA, Director of Library Services, Allara Library at UPIKE to tell us more about what winning Library of the Month means:
“UPIKE’s Allara Library has a wonderful group of librarians and staff, as well as a supportive and collaborative campus community. Lean Library and Lean Library Workspace offer us the opportunity to share library resources on an even greater scale than before.
We are also able to reach out to other departments and provide opportunities to work together to make sure UPIKE’s students are prepared to have a successful university experience. We are excited to be recognized as Technology from Sage’s Library of the Month!”
Congratulations to the team at UPIKE!
