IRC & Library Materials

Be sure to return borrowed library materials, IRC resources, and especially OhioLINK items, before leaving campus for summer.

Returning after hours? There is a book drop located on the library ground floor, near the UPS pick up area.

Keep in mind, IRC kits and big books will NOT fit in the book return. Return these items during regular library operating hours.

Shall we play a game?

Need a study break? 
Of course you do ...


We have several new games including Space Base, Decrypto, Clue (Harry Potter), Codnames Duet,  Shadows in the Forest, Gizmos, and  Azul . These items circulate for a period of one week.

Check out our Pinterest site (see below) for additional items of interest  ... like Pictionary, Twister, and the 5 Second Rule.

Take them back to your room, or find a spot in the library.
