LOUIS Card

SOWELA Students may request a free LOUIS card in the library. The card allows students to check out material from participating academic libraries in the state.

Library News

Laptops are available for check out in the library. Speak with a librarian to use one. Laptops can be checked out for 2 hours at a time and must remain in the library.

As we approach the end of the semester will be temporarily extending hours in the library. Remember that study rooms are available and can be reserved up to 24 hours in advance. Please bring your student ID to check in. Models for anatomy and physiology will be located in the library conference room and that room will be available to all students.
