Library Vibes
What does the AOK Library Have to Offer?
Written by Jenika Brown, OAPA Peer Advisor
Time
to prep for exams and finish up that harder-than-you-expected assignment.
You
need comfy seating, yummy food, caffeine, peace and quiet...and maybe a
beautiful view.
Look
no further than The Albin O. Kuhn Library
First, brain fuel
Whether
it be a painstakingly early morning or a super late night, energy is a must! Thank
goodness for Einstein’s! You can grab a coffee, quick bite or whatever you
fancy—they’re located in the main atrium.
The book you need isn’t here…
Lucky
for you the AOK is connected to a network of other university libraries. This
means librarians can request materials from another library and have them sent
to you…free of charge!
Who says libraries are only for
borrowing books?
Let’s
face it, we’re in the digital age so it’s no surprise that your professors may
require you to bring a laptop to class from time to time. Whether you don’t own a laptop; forgot to bring
yours; or your battery died and you forgot your charger, stop by the
circulation desk if you need a laptop-they loan those out too!
Need help in a class? Get assistance
from the ultimate study partner, a tutor!
You’re
never truly alone at AOK. If you’re struggling in Math or Science course, stop
by the Math and Science
Tutoring Center and take it from an English major who knows the power of an
extra set of eyes on a paper and stop by the Writing Center!—both located on the first floor.
Find a study space that best suites
you. Certain assignments require certain study spaces…at least for me. There
are times where I need to study with a group or be completely alone.
Lucky for me I have options.
- The AOK has individual and group study rooms you can reserve. Or you can snag an open study room on the first-come, first-serve basis
- The Retriever Learning Center (RLC)—located on the main floor—is open 24/7 so you can get the job done...no matter what time it is
*FYI: Library
hours are extended during finals week, so make sure you check the library’s
site, under Library Hours
