Visit K-State Libraries

K-State Libraries encompasses Hale Library and four branch libraries. The Libraries provide academic services and spaces for students and the K-State community to gather.

As part of our land-grant mission, all libraries are open to the public, and we welcome visitors to explore our beautiful buildings and collections. Visitors can use any of our Mac computers without logging in (PC computers do require an eID to log in), as well as our free scanners.
