Hewes Library...the academic heart of Monmouth College
Hewes Library has over 300,000 books, periodicals, government documents and videos to fill your information needs. We provide access to over 100 online databases, which includes full-text access to articles in over 10,000 periodicals, all accessible through our Hewes Library web site.
In addition to our lovely surroundings, the Library includes an electronic classroom suitable for computer instruction and presentations, and an Einstein Brothers Bagels coffee shop.
Throughout the building, ample study space is combined with wireless capability that allow you to use your own laptop within the library.
Several special collections reside on the Upper Level: the Rare Book Collection, the James C. Shields Collection of Ancient Art and Antiquities, and the Len G. Everett Galleries.
The Hewes Library mission is to support and uphold the liberal arts curriculum and traditions of Monmouth College. The Hewes Library’s charge is to support the information needs of the faculty, staff, students, and members of the community while also encouraging lifelong learning. We seek to teach information literacy skills and support academic honesty. At the same time, Hewes Library is the physical home to a core collection of information materials that have been developed in association with the college faculty and the college’s mission. Hewes Library strives to be a welcoming space for patrons to study, discuss, and learn - both individually and collaboratively, while examining the world of scholarship inside and outside of the library’s walls.
