Welcome back for another dynamic and exciting year of classes!  The library is continuing its inventory process so if the catalog says we don't have it - ask the library!  A special faculty orientation will be held on Friday, August 31 to kick start the dynamic duo - the classroom instructor and the  library working together!

Did you know?   Students, faculty and staff may check out books for summer reading and return them the first week of fall classes.  Request this when you check out and we will assign a special summer due date!   ALSO, remember we issue GUEST CARDS to local ministers and pastors.

The last Wed. of the month is the day all books and resources should be a) returned or b) renewed for additional time. All materials should be returned to the book drop in the lobby of the Library.
