Big changes happening in and around the 600 building 👀 but don't worry the library is still open! If you want to stop by just park in the west parking lot and use the west entrance. The main stairwell is in the construction zone but the side stairwell next to the vending machines is open for you to use to come up and see us!

Reminder we have shifted over to our new campus wide summer hours, Monday - Thursday 8 am - 5 pm. We will be closed on Fridays. The summer hours will last through the end of July and then we will be returning to our normal business hours in August.
We apologize for any inconveniences and thank you all so much for being our amazing patrons!

This week, five of our student workers received the Butler Libraries and Archives Student Worker Awards (2025-2026).

This year we recognize Sune Vilijoen, Kristen Thomas, Brooke Rice, Ella Berntsen, and Kadence Wilson for the excellence that they have upheld.

The students were given the following awards:
Excellence in Customer Service - Kadence Wilson
Excellence in Positivity - Ella Berntsen
Excellence in Communication- Brooke Rice
Spirit of the Library (El Dorado) - Sune Viljoen
Spirit of the Library (Andover) - Kristen Thomas
