Wells Library

Looking forward to welcome all of the new Wellsians tomorrow!

The library will be closed today, July 6th. Summer hours will resume tomorrow, July 7. Thank you!

The Long Library has several study carrels and tables scattered throughout all three floors. There are also study rooms near the third floor entrance. Remember to follow COVID-19 capacity guidelines in all of these spaces. Good luck with finals!

You don’t need an invisibility cloak to go to the Long Library. We’re open from 11 am to 12 am on Sundays, 8:30 am to 12 am on Mondays through Thursdays, 8:30 am to 6 pm on Fridays, and 10 am to 6 pm on Saturdays. #studentlife #studentmeme #librarymeme

More than 2 billion books are printed every year. 30 million trees are cut down for books alone! 600 million of those books are destroyed without being read. What can you do? Read digitally, borrow books from the library, or buy used books. 🌎♻️ #EarthWeek #SustainableLibraries

Don’t wait until the last minute to start working on your papers. You could miss out on valuable resources like Interlibrary Loan or physical library materials! #researchpaper #studentlife #researchmeme #studentmeme

Let’s talk about book censorship. Each year, hundreds of books are challenged as an attempt to remove or restrict materials. Although some of these books become banned, many remain available due to people speaking out for the freedom to read. #NationalLibraryWeek #bannedbooks

Do you have research-related questions? Stop by the library main desk and a student worker can put you in touch with a librarian, OR you can email us: library@wells.edu
