Ah, the first day of classes - where can one go to take a break from the flurry of first week stresses? Stop in at one of the Butler Libraries! Besides using us to research and study, if you need a place to have a little "me" or down time, stop by either Irwin or the Science Library. In the Irwin Library Browsing Room (off to the right as you walk in), you can flip through a current magazine, read a newspaper, or browse our current bestsellers shelf. So, remember us as not only a place to study but to relax or take a break.
For new students, if you have any questions about where things are
located in either Irwin Library, the Science Library or on campus, don't hesitate to ask at
the Reference Services desks. We expect these kind of directional and campus
information questions at the beginning of the academic year. By the way, did you
know that you can bring your Starbucks with you into the Libraries? We do allow
drinks (preferably covered) and food in the Library. So, munch away as you study; we just ask that you clean up after yourselves.
Welcome to the academic year, Butler students! We look forward to assisting you in your academic studies. -Sally Neal, Assistant Dean for Public Services, Butler Libraries
