Mercyhurst University Hammermill Library

We're here for you this final stretch! Come get some hot chocolate while it's still hot! 🎄❄️

Hoping everyone in our community is able to stay safe and warm!

Hammermill Library is hosting two SafeNet silhouettes on our main level.

These silhouettes represent very real people who are victims of domestic violence in the Erie community. We hope that in passing by, you'll have a chance to read their stories and take note of the resources available.

And, of course, remember that SafeNet is always available with their FREE and CONFIDENTIAL services. If you or someone you love is in a situation of domestic violence, call the 24/7 crisis hotline: (814) 454-8161

✨FINALS WEEK STUDY BREAK STATIONS✨

Students have been working hard during these end of semester days, but it’s still important to take a break. Stop by any of the study break tables located on Level 3 and 3R of the library for a recharge. Or, pop down to L325 on Level 3 for an all-day Christmas movie marathon!

He is NOT a baby pumpkin. His name is Lewis Jr. 🎃

Lewis Jr. joined the library staff as a temp until Halloween. We took him on a tour around campus so he could spread spooky cheer.

The library is excited to announce Mercyhurst's first telehealth & interfaith prayer room—aka the TAP room—located in Library L222.

This room is for all Mercyhurst students, faculty, and staff. It's meant to meet a need for students who have telehealth sessions and students who need a neutral, comfy place for prayer or meditation.

Hammermill Library is hosting its first ever SUMMER READING PROGRAM! ☀📖 June 5th, 2023 to August 18th, 2023.

The summer is the perfect time to catch up on your to-be-read list! Participants will set their own reading goals and earn rewards for reading! 👀

ALL Mercyhurst students, faculty, and staff and their families are invited to participate. The library is equipped with books for all ages, but participants are not required to check out books — feel free to utilize your personal collection, local libraries, & local bookstores!

In-person participation is not required, but long-distance readers should plan to come to campus at least once to pick-up their goodies.

Feel free to message us with any questions. Happy reading!

Our student workers are the best! 💚

We want to highlight the excellent work of Aiyana Sherwood, whose self portrait is on display in Zurn.

Well done, Aiyana!

Happy Autism Appreciation Month! 💖

Come visit the display on the Main Level of the library to find titles by Temple Grandin, Robert E Cimera, Katherine Erskine, and more!

Also, rumor has it there's a jar full of Tootsie Rolls with someone's name on it if they guess the number of candies. 🍬 Winner will be drawn Monday, 4/24/23.

New arrival alert! ‼️🚨

Come check out our new Caldecott, Newberry, and Coretta Scott King award winners! Lots of new choices for education majors and folks with little ones in their lives!

Special thanks to Nora for this beautiful display. 💚
