“Steve, what in the heliobacteria are you talking about?”

Hill reagents, Joliot-type spectroscopy, and light-limitation?

We’re throwing it back this week to the Hiram College Orchestra!

This photo, from the Hiram College Archives, was featured in the 1912 Spider Web. At the time, the orchestra played at nearly all of the social functions on campus, as well as some engagements out of town.

A little music, a little history, and a glimpse at campus life more than 100 years ago!

In recognition of Banned Books Week (October 4–10), we're highlighting the 11 most frequently challenged books of 2025.

Libraries support everyone's freedom to read, explore different perspectives, and discover stories that matter to them. Books are for everyone. Books should be read.

Let Books Be. Protect the Freedom to Read.

Happy Fall Weekend!

Here’s a throwback from the Hiram College Archives to Fall Weekend 1972, when students gathered on the Campus Green to carve a pumpkin. Some fall traditions never go out of style!

Happy Throwback Thursday!

This aerial view of campus, looking toward the football field, comes to us from the Hiram College Archives. The photo is undated, but it’s a good reminder that the leaves are starting to turn—and soon we’ll be seeing those beautiful fall colors across campus again.

A little library kindness goes a long way!

Thank you to one of our wonderful community patrons for these beautiful flowers after we helped with some computer and printing needs.

They’re brightening up the Front Desk for everyone to enjoy!

The library was buzzing this afternoon, thanks to our incredible students! From real-world internships to deep-dive research, they took over the space to share their hard work at today's poster session. (Hosted by the Office of Scholarly Endeavors)

📚 Library skills in action!

On Friday, several students stopped by the library for some one-on-one help with their research assignment for Dr. Clevenger’s Org. Behavior class. We love helping students find the information and resources they need to succeed! 💙
