Welcome Back!

Welcome back to all our returning Jewell students, and a big welcome to our new students who are joining our Jewell family this year.

The fall library hours resume on September 1st and are:
7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday
7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Friday
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday
1:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday

As always, our computer lab is open 24 hours a day, accessible with your student ID.

Curry Library also has a very interesting display on Jewell’s unique history. I encourage everyone to stop by and take a look, I’m sure you will learn something new!

I would like to point out that in addition to our library’s fine collection of books we also have many more resources that enable you to find reliable and scholarly information. These include journals and magazines, electronic research databases, reference materials like encyclopedias and dictionaries, and government documents. I encourage you to browse our website and try out the 360 Search, or try searching our catalog and databases for subjects you are interested in.

Our Information Desk will be staffed the majority of the time this fall. If you need help with any of our resources, please do not hesitate to ask, either at the Information Desk or the Circulation Desk. We are happy to assist you with all of your research needs!

Did you know…?
Did you know that a vast number of materials in Curry Library cannot be obtained online because of copyright laws? Your library is a valuable resource!
