The Underground Library

Sounds delightfully subversive, doesn’t it? Actually our Fisher-Watkins Library IS a delight for researchers, and is constructed almost entirely underground. To help students develop a foundation for further education and a lifetime of learning, it boasts

  • 20,000 volumes
  • over 1300 videocassettes/DVD's
  • over 60 domestic and international periodicals
  • subscriptions to a variety of online databases
  • an automated catalog
  • strong reference collection
  • wireless access to the Internet
  • networked computer room
  • experienced professional staff

So come in and gaze out the glass semicircular eastern wall for a breathtaking view of the New England countryside while studying for a final, conducting research online or simply enjoying a good read.

Fisher-Watkins Library - Mission Statement
The primary goals of the library are to promote information literacy, support the curriculum, and provide a setting where students can feel both supported and inspired in their academic pursuits. Through both formal and informal instruction, the library plays a crucial role in helping to prepare students for academic success at the college level. Students develop their skills in accessing and utilizing information with the aid of current technology, including the online catalog and subscription databases

The library strives to meet the intellectual and academic needs of a diverse student body by providing resources on a wide range of levels. Through programming and the maintenance of a strong collection of recreational reading materials, the library seeks to promote reading and the sense of wonder and connection which literature can provide. In all these ways, the library endeavors to help each student develop a foundation for further education and a lifetime of learning.
