Welcome Back, Everyone!

The first day of Fall Term is always one of our favorite times of the year with all the excitement in the faces of both those coming back to their home away from home and of those getting their first taste of the Samford experience (well, the parts of the faces we can see not covered by masks anyway).  To all our returning students, welcome back!  And to all our new students, welcome HOME!

With the start of the new academic year, the library has resumed its normal operating hours.  Please note however that the library will be closing at 8:00pm on Sunday, September 5th and will be CLOSED Monday, September 6th in observance of Labor Day.  We will re-open at 7:30am on Tuesday, September 7th.

Also, inclement weather or other events beyond the control of the University that might cause risk or danger to students, faculty, and staff may occasionally result in changes to normal University operations, including library hours.

More information about the library's hours of operation, please click here for the Hours page of our website.

Printing in the library is changing.  Wepa has several options available to students, with by far the fastest and most convenient way to print class projects being to skip the library computers and use their mobile devices.  The free Wepa Print app is available for android and iOS devices. 

For laptops, students should download the print drivers from the Wepa website. 

If a file is on Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or Office365, students can go directly to the Wepa print station, sign in and browse for the file to print.

Be sure to follow the library on social media for updates on events, hours, and more!

Welcome back!

No matter how many years we may have been working here at the library, the first day of Fall Semester always has an excitement in the air that you just don't get any other time of the year -- even when the air is as wet as it is today -- so we're thrilled as always to see so many returning faces along with bright-eyed new ones getting their first taste of the Samford experience.  To all our returning students, welcome back!  To all our new students, welcome HOME!

With the start of the new academic year, the library has resumed its normal operating hours.  Please note however that the library will be closing at 8:00pm on Sunday, September 1st and will be CLOSED Monday, September 2nd in observance of Labor Day.  We will re-open at 7:30am on Tuesday, September 3rd.

The BIG news, however, is that thanks to the generosity from those who contributed to the library's project during Samford's BIG GIVE event in the spring we are able to offer charging lockers to our students!  These charging lockers provide a safe and secure charging options for laptops, tablets, phones, and other portable electronic devices.  These 5-bay lockers are located on the first and second floors next to the copiers, and each bay is equipped with both 110V and USB charging options.  Each bay also features a keypad lock that works just like a hotel safe with user-generated codes.  We're excited to be able to offer this resource to our students and we anticipate many dead batteries brought back to life throughout the year!
