Did you know...

The Sullivan Family Library houses a lot more than books. When you are on campus, stop by the library and check out these great resources!

Near the entrance of the library you will find our assortment of magazines. These range from popular magazines such as Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated to trade-related magazines like Police Chief and Teacher.  All our magazines are library-use only meaning you can pick a magazine off any shelf and read it but you must stay in the library while reading it. Near the magazine racks we have comfy seating with personal lighting bays for your convenience.


In addition to magazines, we also subscribe to a variety of newspapers that are put out each day we are open. From local newspapers like the Star Advertiser to nationwide, industry-specific papers such as the Wall Street Journal, we offer these newspapers for all patrons. Like the magazines, newspapers are library-use only but we have tried to create a cozy reading area near the newspapers. Newspapers are located in the same shelving area as our magazines.


If you are looking for a DVD we have over 2,000 titles for you to choose from. Whether you are feeling like watching the thriller Nightcrawler or a documentary like Rise of the Wahine, our DVD collection truly runs the gamut to fit nearly every taste. The DVDs are located on our entrance level near the computer lab.


Books can be expensive so be sure to stop by our 'Free Book' shelves located near the copy machines on the entrance level of the library. You can browse and freely take home your books of choice without even visiting our Circulation counter.

We also know the value of a quiet study area. Whether you are living with a lot of people and need your own space or you commute to town and want to a place to study before or between classes, the library offers numerous quiet study kiosks located on the 3rd floor of the library near the study rooms. No reservation is necessary and the spaces are first-come, first-served. Each kiosk features privacy slats as well as outlets in each area for your phone or computer chargers.


Attending school can be stressful but we hope that our resources, from books to study areas, can help make things a little less stressful. If you have any questions about the items above or need a little direction to anything, feel free to stop by our Circulation counter and speak with our friendly staff!
