OWU Libraries

This Wednesday, the Delaware County District Library will be bringing the Bookmobile back to campus -- and we'll be wrapping up our 'Find Your Haunt' program! If you still want a chance to win free textbooks and gift cards to the Bishop Cafe courtesy of OWU Libraries, swing by Slocum 201 before Wednesday!

Halloween may be over, but it's not too late to Find Your Haunt on campus -- and to get a chance to win free textbooks for the spring semester. Swing by Slocum 201 between 9am and 5pm Monday through Friday to get started on your quest!

Remember to swing by the Jay before the Bookmobile leaves at 1:45… and maybe get some spooky season swag while you’re there!

We'll be taking over the JAYwalk tomorrow afternoon from 12:45 - 1:45pm! Swing by to get your public library card, take home something fun to read, and chat with your OWU librarians and ARC.

Thank you so much to everyone who showed up at last week's Town Hall about the future of OWU Libraries! Your passion was wonderful to witness, and you packed Hobson Library as full as it could be.

Getting ready for a research project? Our librarians are here to help! Swing by Slocum 201, right off the gorgeous Slocum Reading Room, between 1 and 4pm Monday through Friday for walk-in consultations.

Not sure where to find us? Look for the sign!

Today marks the beginning of Black History Month, and an excellent time to revisit classic Black literature. Today, we'd like to recommend The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde, the prolific and gifted writer, activist, and academic.

If anyone in the OWU community is interested, Beeghly Library is currently looking for feedback to help us better serve you all in the future. If you can spare a few minutes for a brief, 10-question survey, you can access it through the QR code in the pic or at this link: https://owu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_ezH6M1w7Ak4EVue

Thanks -- and enjoy your break!

It's beginning to feel a lot like... finals?

The semester is almost over, and to make sure you have a place to study, the main library is keeping its doors open even longer. Our 24/7 space will remain open as well, making sure you always have a place to work -- or relax!

Wondering if the library will be open while the University is on Thanksgiving Break? Check out our hours below!

All week, OWU will be celebrating our first generation and working class students. Swing by Beeghly Library to check out our display of books by, for, and about the diverse face of first gen students, or stop by our online guide for even more options!

Fall Break is nearly upon us, so the library has some different hours this week. That said, if you need a place to study, Beeghly's 24/7 study space will remain open even when the rest of the library is closed.

This Indigenous Peoples' Day, why not start reading a great book by an indigenous author? These and many more are available at Beeghly Library today!

Coming back to campus for Homecoming this weekend? Swing by the library if you want to take a look at our collection of old yearbooks!

Happy birthday, bell hooks. Gone too soon, but still essential reading.
