Happy Halloween!

Come check out our Halloween Horror Display for some scary books and movies, enter our trivia contest, and pick up some candy!

Use our Catalog and Databases to Search!

Looking for a specific book or books on a certain topic or subject? Search the Stephens Library Catalog.

You can also request books from other libraries to be picked up at Stephens by searching the MOBIUS Catalog. MOBIUS books generally take around three working days to arrive.

You can search a large portion of the library’s entire collection of resources, and more (mainly books and articles) by using the “Library Quick Search” on the Library Homepage.

You can refine your results by selecting a “source type” and by choosing “online full text” or “peer reviewed,” if so desired. Any content not immediately available can be requested. Requests for articles are usually provided within 24 hours, but can take as many as three days or more.

Libby: An App for Audiobooks!

There are thousands of eBooks and audiobooks available through the library’s OverDrive collection. Just login with your Stephens credentials and explore the collection!

By downloading OverDrive’s Libby app, you can:

  • Read across devices: All your loans, notes, bookmarks, and reading progress sync across your devices.

  • Access materials offline: You can download eBooks and audiobooks for offline reading, or stream them to save space.

  • Listen in your car through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or a Bluetooth connection.

New Lounge Space!

Come check out the new hammocks on the upper floor of the library. A great place to study, read, or relax!

Free Coffee and Hot Cocoa!

Grab a nice hot pick-me-up while you study! The library offers free coffee and hot cocoa Monday-Thursday evenings from 5:00-9:00pm and on Sundays from 1:00-9:00pm. This is located on the main floor near the library service desk.
