Join us in Room 134 this Thursday from noon to 2:30pm for a fun craft event to welcome back all students to campus!

We'll be designing our own tote bags — perfect size to carry all of your library books inside 😉. We'll also have a button press available to help you learn how to make your own buttons for your new bag.

All supplies will be included! Bring your friends or come make some new ones.

We hope to see you there! ❤️👜

Welcome back everyone! We hope that the first day of the semester is off to a great start.

Whether we’ve already had the chance to meet or this is your first time meeting us, we’re so glad you’re here and we can't wait to work with you this year!

If you would like to get in contact with a librarian, we are available through chat, appointment or walk-ins at the Help Desk (located past the circulation desk).

Planning to visit the library this summer? Be sure to check out our new exhibit exploring the library’s storied history.

Learn about the library’s origins in Old Main, how it got its name, and more! The exhibit also features archival materials showcasing memorable events and programs through the years.

The exhibit will be on display all summer, so if you’re on campus, take some time to stop by.

Well, here we are! The 2025-2026 academic year has come and gone and now is time for everyone to take a well-deserved break.

Congratulations to our graduates and for those that will be returning in the fall, remember to take the time to recharge and relax.

While campus may be a little quieter for the next few months, the library will still be here for anyone that needs to drop by.

Note, the library is not open on weekends during summer break. Additionally, for those that need research assistance, a librarian will be available from noon to 4 pm on weekdays.

We hope that you all have a great summer break and we look forward to seeing many of you back on campus in the fall!
