August Hours

The summer term is winding a close, and with its end come new hours of operation for the library. Beginning on Monday, July 29th, the library will be open Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm. This schedule will be in place until the first day of fall term classes, August 28th, so please don't forget about this when you get the urge to come visit!

Time for a study break?

Hello, Panthers! As we switch between half-terms (or for some of you, move into the last stretch of the full-term classes), please don't forget about the library! Take a break from your studies with the latest edition of the Quad, Birmingham-Southern's Literature and Arts Journal, or if you'd rather grab something to go, we've got plenty of new DVDs to help you unwind and give your brain a break! The library has once again expanded its film collection, thanks to funding by SGA, which now includes such gems as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Double Indemnity, and the ever-popular Alien quadrilogy. Be sure to visit our new videos page to see what else has been recently added to our collection!

Audrey Davis: 2013 Library Art Purchase Award winner!

The recipient of this year's BSC Library Art Purchase Award is Audrey Davis, who graduated from Birmingham-Southern this spring with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Summa Cum Laude). Her compelling photographic print, Drama #22, was acquired by the BSC library in May and will be displayed on the ground floor of the building.

The Art Purchase Award is funded through the library's used book sales, which enable us to purchase at least one outstanding piece of art from the Juried Student Art Exhibition each year.  Wander down to the ground floor next time you're in the library, to enjoy the work of some of Birmingham-Southern's talented artists... and check out the used books for sale in the lobby, if you'd like to contribute to making the library a more beautiful and interesting space!
