Libraries During Hard Times

Newspapers are carrying articles about the benefits of libraries when dollars are short. Miller Library is no exception.
Check out our collection of movies, music, and leisure reading titles. Also, our online databases and those of the State Library of Kansas offer information on everything from health to fine arts, horticulture to culinary arts, home improvement to travel and leisure, and a collection of popular magazines. McPherson College students and staff may access these through our Online Resources page for Gale/Cengage: http://find.galegroup.com/menu/commonmenu.do?userGroupName=klnb_mcphercol.
