• Borrow up to 3 print items with no fines or fees.
• Homework help: Chat with a librarian online, Monday–Friday, 12–6 PM for homework assistance via Instant Librarian.

Student Survey Results

Over one week, 155 students shared feedback on the new library. Here’s what we found:

• Top reason for visiting: Quiet study space and homework.
• Top feature request: Better seating with charging stations and quiet zones.
• Awareness gap: Most students are unaware of the available online resources.
• Aesthetic preference: 55.8% of students preferred a cozy, quiet space with plenty of seating.

Mini Library on Campus

We now have 1,040 library materials—novels and plays—available in classrooms and workrooms for student research and reading.
