I'm an employee at the Clark Memorial Library at Shawnee state University so you may think that I'm trying to promote them (which I am slightly) but that's not it! The library is a great place on campus that more people need to utilize. There are many things that we can do for you here! Here are the top 5:


1. BOOKS!

This one may seem obvious you can come here and get books! We have an OhioLink program which allows us to borrow books from others schools to check out to our students. Many times you can fined your textbooks through OhioLink. We also have fun books such as Harry Potter, Game Of Thrones, etc...


2. Helpful Staff!

Not to brag but here at Shawnee we have a very helpful and friendly staff! We have librarians who can assist you with research in certain topics, we have student employees who can get you on the right track of finding information on what you need or we can just help you find books! We're always ready to help!


3. Comfortable and Quiet Study Spaces!

Are your room mates too loud, do you get too tempted by TV or computers when you study at home? Come to the library on all floors we have study rooms where you can go have a private space to study with a group or by yourself, on the third floor we have a quiet study area there are no computers, just quiet space so you can concentrate.


4. Computers, Laptops and WiFi!

If you live on campus you may know how bad the WiFi can be sometimes. Also some students in college may not have their own computers or laptops. Here at the library we have desktops computers that students can use and we can also check you out a laptop if you would prefer that! Just come to The service desk and bring your student ID!


5. Information Technology Services (ITS)

ITS is located in the basement of the library. ITS can help with log in problems computer connectivity problems, etc.. they also have a very helpful staff!

6. The Children's Materials Center (CMC)

If you are an education major like me the CMC will be your life. The CMC is also located in the basement of the library. The CMC has children's books, a laminator and elision machine and a graphic lab with poster board markers and other various things that you may need for projects. We also have free copying for education majors you just have to get the code from your professor.


7. The Writing Center

The writing canter helps students writing papers for their classes, they help you edit and revise your papers which is a helpful tool for students to have access to. The Writing Center is also located in the basement of the library.



So next time you need to study or get free time and just want to check us out come visit us in the library we have all these helpful things and more. Never be embarrassed to ask us questions we are always here to help you!



(During Finals week we even bring in Digit the therapy dog to help relieve stress!)

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
