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!)

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
