What can we say? We are just a bunch of chic people in a very chic field. You too can be chic when you use the library.

Come in and check out new equipment like graphing calculators, microphones, and textbooks all generously made possible by the philanthropic support of Dick ’68 and Angie Clark and their family.

Stop by the carts at User Services and "Read and Relax" to give us your fun ideas for displays and what you'd like to see in the library.

Check back for events like study-a-thon, therapy dogs, and Feel Good Friday. Need a break now? Take some time to decompress by doing the puzzle by User Services.

Interested in history? Head downstairs to the Archive and check out what our archivist has been up to this summer or study under the beautiful lamps in the Walker Room.

Research, finding course materials, or citing sources? We can help with that! Come find a librarian, pop onto library chat, or book an appointment for help. We are here for you!

Congratulations to the class of 2026! We wish you all continued success.

A special congratulations to our graduating student workers Josh, Susana, Hannah, Ivy, and Beyonce. We will miss you!

To all W&J graduates, please remember libraries are here for you!

After today, as you move on to your next great adventure (be that graduate school or the working world), remember to look for the library. There will always be someone at the library happy to help you, even if it's not us. Academic or public, libraries are spaces set aside to provide community and help when you need it. We hope that we've given you a safe space that exemplifies library joy and community here at W&J and that, in turn, you continue to be library users for life.

An excellent visit today from the Old Guard to the Clark Family Library and W&J College Archives.

Alumni from the class of 1976 were treated to artifacts and documents from both their time here at W&J and older historical aspects of the college, including an incanabula printed in the late 1400s. Our Archivist Sinéad Bligh as well as one of our student fellows offered insight into the collection, answered a plethora of questions, and took a few oral histories.

Thank you so much, Class of 1976 Alumni, for spending a little bit of time with us today!

Are you teaching in the fall? Do you have some resources you'd like available in the library in order to reduce student costs?

The call has gone out for bookstore submissions and the library would like you to send them a copy of your booklist!

Please consider submiting your resource list (books and movies) to your liaison librarian when making your bookstore submissions so that we can assess and possibly purchase needed materials early.

Compiling and preparing resources takes a significant amount of time here in the library and is often slow over the summer without our valuable student workers to aid in processing physical materials. To ensure your resources are available on day one of classes, it is beneficial to have your requests to our librarians as early as possible.

You can find your liaison librarian (and follow the link to their email) under "Faculty/ Staff Services" on the top bar of the homepage. Then you will select "Liaisons" from the drop-down menu.

We now have Inside Higher Ed! This is your place to access the latest news and analysis of the higher education community.
