Walsh High School students and faculty are welcome to visit the library at any time! Please consult the library's home page for current hours. Below is a brief listing of services available:

Books

You are welcome to come to the library at any time to utilize any of our print resources. While you cannot borrow materials, you are welcome to make photocopies of anything that is needed. The library has two photocopiers, and copies cost five cents each. Copiers take both bills and change, and you can also purchase a copy card.

Reference Services

Our AskUs 24/7 virtual reference service is available to you whenever you would like assistance but are not in our building. If you're in the building, please stop by the reference desk if you have a question or need assistance!

Classes

If your class is working on a project that involves finding information resources, we can schedule a library session for you. Students--please ask your teacher to schedule a session for the class. Faculty--please contact Ann Tenglund (375-2378 or ateng@sbu.edu) to arrange a library session for a class.

Computer Labs

Please present your Walsh ID to a staff member in the library in order to obtain access to a computer in the computer lab.

Databases

• All of the library's databases are available whenever you are in the library building. Please present a Walsh ID to be logged into a computer to use them.
• Some of the databases are available to you off-campus. These databases are part of New York State's NOVEL program. Remember--this list of databases available off-campus is just a small sub-section of the databases the library can make available to you when you are in our building!
