What's New in the Library this Month?

There are several notable events happen during November month.

1. LibQual Survey Nov 1-20, 2015

In an effort to improve its services to Shippensburg University and to the broader Shippensburg and regional community, every few years the Ezra Lehman Memorial Library participates in an extensive national user satisfaction survey called LibQUAL+.

In order for the survey to be success, we need your help.

Please take the time to respond. 

As an added incentive, everyone completing the survey will have the option to be included in random drawing for prizes.

Tell us what you think of the library and you could win great prizes. We have more than 50 prizes to give   away.  Grand prize! Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (7-Inch, black).
