University of Montevallo Carmichael Library Offers Much to Students.

By Dione Thrift

The first thing one thinks of when hearing the library is probably books.  That's what a good majority of students, and even faculty at the University of Montevallo said when asked.  Some people equate books as to being boring which would probably make Carmichael a little less attractive to students, but Carmichael offers students more than just books.

     "Studying, even like the archives, multimedia, and everything we have....if students tap into that, I think there are endless resources...." says University of Montevallo Junior Linsey Tillman.  Carmichael offers not only books, but a place where students can come study, whether with a group, takes place on the main, and bottom floors, or quietly alone, which takes place up stairs.

Other than checking out books, Carmichael also offers students DVDs to check out.  DVDs content range from popular box office hits to educational documentaries.  There's something for everyone to enjoy.  Audiobooks and CDs are also available for students to checkout.
One more thing that Carmichael Library offers that students can greatly benefit is the digital media lab. This is a perfect place for students who don't have regular access to computers and other digital media equipment. Chromebooks, cameras, and digital software are available for students, which is convenient considering the library flexible hours.
 

  Carmichael also provides jobs for students, seeking employment with flexible hours.  The library also provides assistance with research, and tutoring for students wanting to improve in the classroom. So Carmichael proves to offer more than just something to read, it offers kids all they need to succeed.
