Welcome back to SPS! Whether you are new to Millville or returning for another year, the Ohrstrom librarians are glad you are here!
Our Hours: Sunday 11-9:30, Monday-Friday 8:30-9:30, Saturday 8:00-12:30.
You can use your SPS ID to check out books, so drop by to see all the new books we received in over the summer! If digital is more your thing, check out our ebook and audiobook selections on SORA.
The library has plenty of study spaces – from our new Quiet Study Room on the main level to our study carrels on the Lower Level. Ask at the desk for laptop chargers, project supplies, and umbrellas. In fact, if you have any questions at all, there is always a librarian at the main desk who will be glad to help! If you are looking for a few minutes of downtime entertainment, we have you covered with puzzles and games, wellness tools, a giant chess set on the patio, and more.
We were very busy over the summer, working on projects that will make Ohrstrom even better. To mention a few:
– The History Collection (900s) was reorganized and curated to allow for easier browsing. The librarians also added notes to the catalog records so you can more easily find books which contain primary sources.
– We have hung student artwork around the building and we are excited to consider more art as the year progresses.
– Our new archives exhibit – A Home Away From Home: The Dorms of St. Paul’s School – is ready for viewing on the Upper Level.
– We have made our “Sound Zones” clearer. Watch for signage around the building and choose your study space accordingly.
– Sixth formers interested in transitioning from NoodleTools to a more advanced citation management tool supported by a large number of colleges and universities should check out the new Zotero page.
– Check back next week to learn more about our new 3D Printer and other fun tools now available for use at the Library.
There are a few more changes and updates, but we don’t want to ruin all of the surprises. Drop by and see for yourself when we reopen on Friday September 5th. We can’t wait to welcome you back!
