Wow!

Thanks, @startribune.com for making us your Wayback Wednesday! Talk about a blast from our past!
A black and white photo from 1971, credited to Donald Black of The Minnesota Star Tribune. The photo is of college students pushing grocery carts, each filled with boxes of books. Text below reads: Ever wondered how a college campus might transport books around campus? On this day in 1971, student athletes hired by Hamline University pushed grocery carts stacked high with books across campus to the St. Paul college's new $3.4-million Bush Memorial Library. A Minnesota grocery chain lent the students 50 shopping carts for the job. The money students earned was used to buy new baseball uniforms.

Hey, #Pipers! Can you speak up, please?

Our carpets got cleaned before everyone returns for Fall 2025 -- YAY! -- but that means it is LOUD while the fans do their work.

Live phone support is not available today. You may call & leave a message, but we will need to reply via email.

#Pipers, as you finish using your library items, it's time to start returning them! Save yourself time and stress and bring them back now, instead of waiting until move-out.

Seniors, this means YOU! Seniors must return all library items by noon on May 16th, or fines will be placed on your account.
A tall stack of old books on the left-hand side. Text on the right reads CONGRATS Class of 2025. All library items are due back 5/16 @ Noon. Failure to return items will result in a hold being placed on your student account. We will be closed 5/17 & 5/18 for Commencement. Do not place computers or other tech equipment in the book drop. Wait until we reopen on Monday, 5/19 to return fragile items to the Central Service Desk.
