Results of a recent student/faculty survey of the Garnett Library will be presented at the April 12 Friends of the Garnett Library meeting.

Sylvia Kuhlmeier, director of library services, and Dr. Jason McCollom, chair of the Garnett Library Advisory Committee, will present the results.

“The library is an important part of campus life. You can check out books, conduct research, find a quiet place to study, and perhaps flip through a magazine,” Kuhlmeier said. “In addition, many resources such as databases and e-books, are available from the MSU Libraries website.

“How are students using this great wealth of resources? How do students and faculty view services at the Garnett Library? What improvements or services would they like to see at our library? This survey provides some evidence on needs,” Kuhlmeier explained. “Evidence-based needs should be at the heart of the decision-making process when planning for improvements or change,” she added.

New officers induction

In addition to the presentation, the group will induct officers for the 2019-2020 year.

The luncheon and meeting will take place from noon to 1 p.m. at the Garnett Library, 304 W. Trish Knight St. Parking is available in the lot adjacent to the library off Trish Knight Street and behind Looney Hall on Garfield Avenue. 

Cost of the meal is $10, payable at the door. Those wishing to eat should make a reservation by calling 417-255-7940 or emailing FriendsofGarnettLibrary@MissouriState.edu by 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 10.
