The Hiram College Library offers an exciting mix of the old and new, from our archives, print, and physical items to 21st century eBooks and eJournals. The library has a collection of over 500,000 items available to ensure that students have access to the best possible resources to complete their studies.

The library is a member of OhioLINK, a consortium of 121 academic libraries and the State Library of Ohio. The combined catalog of OhioLINK members provides members of the Hiram College community with access to more than 50 million books and other library materials. Students, faculty, and staff are able to borrow physical items through the OhioLINK catalog for delivery directly to Hiram, or access digital items 24/7.

The library isn’t just about its collections, however. Opened in 1995, the library offers a variety of physical spaces for students to use, ranging from quiet study spaces for individuals to group study rooms for collaboration.

The Hiram College Library continues to evolve to meet the changing research needs of Hiram's students, its faculty, and the surrounding community. A recent first-floor renovation continues this evolution by welcoming in a new student support hub, which gives students access to advising, learning technologies, tutoring services, the Writing Center, and the Emerging Scholars program all in one location. An IT support desk is also available in the library’s lower level.

Librarians also provide instruction sessions to help students find the right source for their paper or project via the First-Year Program or by request in any course. Reference librarians are available to assist library users, and the library’s website provides 24/7 access to instructions, information, and resources.
