SUGGESTION BOX E-MAIL: Make a suggestion and you could win a prize. We’re listening!

A message from the librarian:

Thanks for visiting our website! We are very excited about our expanded library and larger, newer collections! We are always looking for great, new books and audio-visual materials, so please make a recommendation - send and email or write a title, author, and/or subject on a slip of paper and either give it to a member of the library staff or drop it in the suggestion box by the entrance. Add your name to your request and you could be selected to receive a prize, such as a free book, for helping us improve the collection!

Our Goal Is To Help You Reach Your Goals: We are fortunate to have a great library here, but we're always looking for ways to improve. Over the past three years, we've double the square-footage the physical space, added wireless internet and laptops, couches to go along with the wing-backed chairs, more collection search computers, and a sound system to pipe in background music. (Feel free to check out the classical and jazz cd's that you hear!) We always try to be very approachable and create a comfortable environment for students and staff, so drop in to relax, read, study, or surf!

Our book collection consists of 15,000 items, and we're constantly in the midst of weeding and updating the collection, so feel free to send us your suggestions! We also subscribe to twelve electronic databases, 30+ periodicals, and have added UnitedStreaming.com, a streaming video database, to our other two electronic databases, EBSCO and CIAOnet.

We look forward to working closely with you and listening to your input on how we can serve you better!
