On May 22, 2018, a fire in Hale Library resulted in significant smoke and water damage. While the building will be closed for the 2018-2019 school year, library and IT services are available, including Ask a Librarian and the IT Help Desk, which is located in the Student Union. Online resources such as databases, ebooks, and journals are available, but most physical collections that were in Hale during the fire will not be accessible during the 2018-2019 school year. Students should request books and articles that are no longer available from K-State using the Library’s free inter-library loan service. They will work to get these items from other libraries for you. Alternate computer, printing, and study locations have also been identified. For more information about the fire and alternate study locations, visit the Hale Library Recovery website at www.k-state.edu/hale.
K-State Libraries manifests the land-grant values and rich history of Kansas State University. We elevate academic success as an integral partner in research, learning, and discovery. We advocate for our campus and our community, connect their imaginations to information, and number their successes among our own.
All of the K-State Libraries venues offer areas for individual and group study and often include technology-enabled meeting rooms. Inside Hale Library, the Great Room anchors the third floor Quiet Zone for focused individual work, while the area around Library Help on the second floor is a hub of activity for group projects and study.
When classes are in session, Hale Library is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, plus weekend hours. This ensures that whenever students need a place to study, the Libraries can be a first option. Additionally, the Anita C. Lehner 24 Hour Study Area inside Hale Library is open 365 days a year for study space or computer use.
The Libraries employ approximately 100 staff full-time, including faculty librarians, unclassified professionals, and classified professionals. The part-time student staff numbers approximately 60.
Collectively the Libraries maintain three million volumes to support the diverse academic, instructional, and research activities of Kansas State University. Technology allows students and faculty to be outside the library building, off campus, and even out of the country and still have the ability to access online databases, journals, and books. Personal research assistance is available from anywhere through the Libraries’ website and services like Ask a Librarian that include chat, text message, and email options. We’ve been answering your questions since 1863 and finding new ways to do so every day.
In addition to Hale Library, there are five specialized branch libraries: Fiedler Engineering Library, Math/Physics Library, K-State Polytechnic Campus Library, Veterinary Medical Library, and Paul Weigel Library of Architecture, Planning and Design.
