About the Library
Welcome - we're so glad you're here!
Your librarians are available to help in person, via phone, chat, text, or zoom. Check our hours page for building, phone, chat, and text hours.
We are prioritizing some of our most in-demand library services, including quiet study space, collaborative study areas, chat reference service, contactless book pick-up for OhioLINK and other library materials, and continued support for remote teaching and learning.
