As a Land Grant library, Mann Library supports the local community through a range of services, resources, and programming efforts. Community members are welcome to visit Mann Library to use our materials, databases, and resources on-site during operating hours, our events and exhibits are free and open to the public, and many of our talks are recorded and freely available online.
Computer Access
- Wireless Internet Access: Visitors may use their laptops or mobile devices to access the internet by registering for guest network access. Please see Red Rover-Guest Access for instructions.
- Desktop Computers: To use library computers for research purposes, visitors can use any unoccupied machine in the library, no login required.
Copy & Printing Services
- Scanning with our copy machines is free, though making paper copies requires you to save the document to removable media and have them printed at the Mann Library Help Desk.
