Attention, Crossland College of Technology students! Snacks are available for you in the Tech Library (that’s second floor, room 221 on the South Side) for all of Dead Week and finals week.

If you have the time, why not check out our soda bar at Axe Library? Tonight, tomorrow night and Thursday at 9pm on the first floor, you can create your own italian soda, or pick up a coffee to go. We’ve already had two great nights with students showing off their barista skills. 🥤

We have all sorts of books at Axe Library. Sometimes we discover something in the regular stacks that is special enough for our Special Collections and Archives. 😲

Take this dictionary, for instance. It was published in London in 1875 and was rebound by the Porter Library at Pittstate. The original pages are in remarkably good condition. Once this is re-catalogued, it will be available again in the archives.

Happy Monday Pittsburg State University! If the librarians are a little too chipper today it’s because we’re excited by the upcoming book sale. (Or it might just be excess breakroom coffee.)

Stop buy the library any time from 10am to 4pm tomorrow (that’s Tuesday, April 21st.) We have so many gently used books looking for a good home, and by buying one or seven you are supporting our programs that support students. 💕📚

As Student Worker Appreciation week draws to a close, we would like to thank all the students (some of whom are pictured below) who keep Pittstate Library Services running. Trust us, we couldn’t do it without you! Thank you for continuing to make Axe Library and our CTC Library places of fun and learning. 💕
