After managing UVA’s biggest Library challenges, Dean turns final page

By UVA Library | February 24, 2025

A man in a suit stands in the center of a large airy space, filled with book shelves. University Librarian John Unsworth, who oversaw a four-year renovation to the main UVA library and a two-year pandemic that shut down the libraries and all of Grounds, has announced he will retire at the end of the academic year.

Read the full announcement from UVA Today.
