Okay, quick tip list for alumni who want to use Ross Library at Lock Haven — I throw these out from the perspective of someone who pops back every few years.
Get an alumni card/registration so you can borrow and use library computers. Check the catalog online first, then place holds or request items via interlibrary loan if Lock Haven doesn’t own them. For journals and database access, expect limits: some content might be available only on campus, but you can often request article scans. If you need local history or university archives, ask for an appointment — archivists will pull folders and help you handle fragile material. Use study rooms for meetings and RSVP if the library requires it. Small fees might apply for copies or reproductions, so budget for that. Finally, email the reference desk with a snapshot of your project and they’ll usually point you to the fastest solution — I’ve always found a short conversation saves a lot of wandering around.
Honestly, alumni have a surprisingly rich set of options at Ross Library if you take a little time to explore — I learned that the hard way when I stopped by between jobs and ended up discovering stacks I’d never seen before.
Start by checking the library’s alumni services page or calling the front desk. Usually you’ll register for an alumni library card (bring a photo ID and alumni/parking card if you have one), which unlocks on-site borrowing, computer access, and the ability to request scans or check out equipment. For me the golden trick was asking about electronic access: some databases are available remotely through an alumni login or proxy service, but many licensed resources require you to be on campus or use a public workstation. If you need journal articles, try the interlibrary loan/document delivery option — I once had a hard-to-find article scanned and emailed to me in a couple of days.
Don’t forget special collections and archives. Ross Library’s local history materials and university records are real treasures; they often require an appointment but staff are super helpful about pulling boxes and describing what’s there. I’ve used those collections for small projects and they’ll help with reproductions for a fee. Finally, take advantage of study rooms, workshops, and any alumni lectures — it’s not just books. If you’re unsure where to begin, email the reference desk with a quick description of your project and they’ll point you toward the best path forward.
If you’re coming back for research, here’s a compact game plan that’s worked for me: figure out what you need, contact the library, and clarify what can be done remotely versus onsite.
First: identify key resources (books, theses, articles, archival items). Use Ross Library’s online catalog to place holds or see call numbers — that tells you whether something is available for checkout or inspection. For scholarly articles behind paywalls, ask about interlibrary loan or article scans; many libraries will provide a PDF delivery for alumni. If you need specialized help, schedule a research consultation. I once had a tight deadline for a paper and a quick 30-minute chat with a librarian produced a stack of targeted search terms and database tips that saved hours.
Practical notes: alumni borrowing limits and loan periods differ from current students — renewals and fines policies are worth confirming. If you plan to access databases, check whether Ross Library provides alumni remote authentication; otherwise plan a campus visit or use public terminals. Also inquire about room reservations, laptop/charger loans, and digitization services for fragile items. It’s efficient to email or phone ahead so staff can prepare materials and avoid wasted trips.

“Name your price,” he said, that arrogant smirk still intact.
“Do you want your job back?”
I didn’t hesitate. “Make me a director. Only then will I pretend to be your loving girlfriend.”
I thought he’d laugh. I didn’t expect him to say yes.
“Deal,” he replied, his gaze locking on mine.
“Just remember, Amaris Kennerly once you sign that contract, you belong to me.”

I’ve always wondered if I was cursed from birth because the kind of bad luck that haunts me feels almost supernatural.
People call me a computer genius, but my real talent is something no one sees. They say I’m beautiful, yet I bury that behind oversized clothes and a mountain of insecurities.
After dumping my cheating boyfriend, the only steady thing left in my life was my soul-sucking job until I lost that too. And the man responsible? Theron Lockhart.——My high school bully didn’t just return, he returned as the new CEO of my company. And his first executive move? Firing me and my entire department, like history repeating itself in the cruelest way.
He didn’t recognize me, which should’ve felt like relief. But fate clearly wasn’t done toying with me.
One moment, he was rescuing me from a run-in with my ex. The next, a rumor had spread: I was his girlfriend. And then the tables turned because Theron needed to avoid a scandal, and I was his best option.
You think I care about titles?” he asked, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you think that matters to me?”
“It should,” I said, my voice breaking slightly. “It matters to me.”
He tilted his head slightly, studying me. "Why? Why does it matter so much to you?"
“Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—”
“Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm.
I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered.
“You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.”
Leon always believed he was an ordinary human, until the night he woke up in a strange medical facility, surrounded by strangers who insisted he belonged to the Shifter Realm. Thrown into a world ruled by werewolves, hierarchy, and ancient laws, Leon learns he is an omega whose scent is so potent it destabilizes every alpha around him. His arrival at Shifter University instantly sends the campus into chaos.
Two men are affected the most:
Roan Blackthorn, a dominant alpha with a violent reputation and a past tied to Leon in ways he doesn’t understand;
and Professor Alister Vale, a brilliant, cold, dangerously controlled shifter who once almost kissed Leon in the human world.
Their rivalry sparks the moment they meet, pulling Leon into a dangerous gravitational field of desire, possessiveness, and unspoken history. Leon wants neither of them, but can’t deny the pull toward both, a pull that grows stronger each time his omega instincts flare.
The truth begins to unravel when Leon uses a mysterious key left by his human lawyer. It opens a hidden safe on campus containing papers from his parents: a royal pack seal, documents proving his rare omega lineage, and a terrifying warning,
The Null Order is hunting you.
The Order’s presence becomes undeniable when Leon’s first heat hits, violent enough to collapse him. Roan and Alister both sense it from afar, colliding outside his door in a feral fight for dominance and access. It takes both men working together to stabilize him, and in that moment, the first threads of an impossible triad bond begin forming.
But the danger only escalate

I’ve swung by campus enough times to know library hours can feel like a moving target, so here’s the practical scoop from my point of view. During the regular academic semester the Ross Library at Lock Haven typically keeps longer weekday hours to accommodate classes and study sessions, and then trims back on weekends and school breaks. Expect the biggest variations around finals (they often extend hours) and over summer or winter breaks (they usually shorten them).
If you need the exact times today, the fastest paths are: check the library’s official web page on the Lock Haven University site, look at the Ross Library listing on Google Maps (it usually shows current hours), or call the library’s main desk number listed on the university directory. Socials and the campus calendar also post special hours for holidays and exam weeks.
I’ll add one last tip from experience: even when the building is closed, many electronic resources — databases, e-books, and the catalog — are available 24/7 with your campus credentials, and the staff email is usually quick to respond if you need a specific service or to reserve a study room.
Honestly, the easiest way I found to get into the databases at Ross Library is to start at the library’s website and let it guide you — that homepage is like a map. First, if I’m on campus, everything usually works automatically: connect to the campus Wi‑Fi or use a library computer and click the 'Databases' or 'Databases A–Z' link. No extra login steps most times, and I can dive straight into places like EBSCO or JSTOR (the usual suspects) to pull articles or e‑books.
When I’m off campus, I use the library’s off‑campus login/proxy. There’s a button that says something like 'Off‑Campus Access' or 'Login for Remote Access' and it asks for my university credentials — the same ones I use for my student portal. If a database prompts for a login page, I enter those credentials and it lets me in. A few tips I picked up: enable pop‑ups for downloads, clear cookies if something weird happens, and try a different browser if a PDF refuses to open.
If I’m stuck, I don’t sweat it alone. I’ll hit the 'Ask a Librarian' chat, email them, or drop by the reference desk. I’ve also used LibGuides for subject‑specific collections, requested articles through interlibrary loan, and attended a quick research workshop — those short sessions saved me hours. It makes research feel a lot less like a scavenger hunt.
I love poking through local archives on rainy afternoons, and Ross Library at Lock Haven is one of those little treasure troves that keeps surprising me. Their special collections are mostly built around the university and the region: think 'Lock Haven University yearbooks', student newspapers, administrative records, and other university archives that trace campus life across decades. Those university materials are a goldmine if you want to track alumni, see how student clubs and sports evolved, or find vintage campus photos — I once found a hilarious homecoming snapshot that ended up in a family slideshow.
Beyond campus stuff, there's a solid local history and genealogy section. City directories, old newspapers on microfilm, photo collections, and cemetery indexes show up in ways that make family-history sleuthing satisfying. They also keep maps and regional documents related to the lumber and railroad eras around the Susquehanna River, which is awesome if you’re into industrial history or old landscape changes. The photographic collections and oral histories give faces and voices to names you’d otherwise only see in typed records.
Practical tip: many items can’t be checked out, so you’ll need to request them at the special collections desk and sometimes make an appointment. The staff are super helpful with finding aids and photocopy or scanning options. If you’re starting a project — a paper, podcast episode, or just a curiosity hunt — email ahead, ask for the finding aids, and carve out extra time; these materials reward slow reading and close-looking.
