WILLIAM KNOX HOLT MEMORIAL LIBRARY

The William Knox Holt Memorial Library is the academic and community heart of campus. It’s a dynamic hub that fuels learning, discovery, and student success. Students rely on the library for peer tutoring, research support, information literacy instruction, makerspace tools, a technology helpdesk, and world‑class archives that power original scholarship. Faculty leadership in Open Educational Resources has saved students more than $3 million in textbook costs, while the library employs over 100 student workers each year, helping them build professional skills and supporting retention. Designed for how students learn best, the library offers quiet study zones, collaborative spaces, and areas for reflection and well‑being. It provides a welcoming home for international students and includes vibrant gathering spaces such as a student‑run café and a state‑of‑the‑art gaming center. The library also strengthens academic quality by supporting faculty teaching innovation and assessment that improve student learning outcomes. Investing in the library means investing in academic achievement, equity, innovation, and a strong sense of belonging across the university.
