About K-State Libraries

Unlike an academic college or department, K-State Libraries are in the unique position of supporting all academic aspects of K-State. By supporting K-State Libraries, you are advancing every academic discipline at K-State, as well as the research and learning experiences of countless academic visitors and Manhattan community members. Find out K-State Libraries mission and strategic plans.

Talking in the library

Hale Library is a hub of activity at K-State, where students come together to collaborate and learn. Talking is not only allowed, but encouraged (except for in designated quiet study areas). And when students need help on library research and more, they get cool tips at any hour through Ask a Librarian, an instant messaging service that connects library users with librarians online. In addition, students can get cool library-related news, events and more through the library’s blog, Talking in the Library. To learn more about K-State Libraries today, watch a video tour.

Special collections

The cookery collection, the preeminent special collection in the K-State Libraries, was built largely through generous K-State alumni and friends. Their substantial donations and bequests of books or personal libraries, along with judicious purchases, have produced a collection containing more than 15,000 cookbooks and related volumes.
