We want to share with you that serving students is job one for faculty at the Allstate Center. Therefore, if you are reading this blog, and you are a student, please know that you are their priority. Given so, they understand how important library services are to their students. Thus, faculty members are staffing the Allstate Center Library, which is in room 202, every Monday through Thursday from 10 A.M. to noon. They invite you to stop by! They are there to serve students in whatever capacity they can. The following services are offered, but not limited to:

  • academic advice such as writing help and suggestions on how to conduct better research
  • help navigating the many resources offered to students at the Allstate Center such as free tutoring
  • referral to the many student services now located at the Allstate Center like Disability Resources and the Test Center

Also, our faculty want to remind you that you can use the library computers to compose and print assignments or simply to check emails.

Additionally, faculty want to share with you that there is an Allstate Library Club. You are invited to join. The AC Library Club provides an opportunity for your voice to be heard. For example, you can help plan library events and mentor fellow students. To find out more about this club, you can call Emily Young at 727-341-4486.

Regarding opportunities for you to get involved on campus, have you heard of the One Book, One College event? This is an annual program that invites students, faculty and staff, across all campuses, to connect with one book and with each other to stimulate discussion, critical thinking and recreational reading.
