The Valley Library has partnered with OSU's Academic Success Center to offer a selection of their Learning Corner worksheets in the library's Learning Commons. The rack is facing the quick print stations (and the hallway to the restrooms and URWS).
The selections focus on productive studying and planning for studying, notetaking, group work, and self-care. Check them out!
The full suite of Learning Corner worksheets, including fillable PDFs, is worth checking out as well.
Free menstrual products are available in all Valley Library restrooms (inclusive, gendered, and single-user) on the Corvallis campus and in the women's restrooms at the Guin Library and HMSC 900 building on the Hatfield Marine Science Center Newport campus (product/dispenser coming soon for the men's restroom).

Corvallis-Benton County Public Library (CBCPL) staff will be at the Valley Library on Tuesday, April 5 from 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm. They will offer assistance with public library card applications. Be sure to bring your OSU ID (faculty and staff, check out the library card guidelines).
The Corvallis branch of the CBCPL is just a short walk east of campus on Monroe, between 7th and 6th Streets (645 NW Monroe).

Hey Beavs! As the mask mandate ends, please join us in supporting those who continue to wear a mask. We want your library to be a safe and welcoming place for everyone.
Your library has study rooms available for those that need or want distancing. Your library also has online or phone help options for those that need remote reference assistance.
OSU Libraries & Press has been (mostly) fine-free since the early days of the pandemic campus closure in 2020. Our goal, always, is to connect you with the materials and items you need to continue your studies and your work. We do not want to penalize you for keeping things longer than anticipated (we understand life gets in the way sometimes)! That said, not all items you borrow belong to OSU Libraries, and some items do go missing or get damaged. Please note these things:
Even though we are mostly fine-free, please do your part to return materials and items in a timely manner so that others in our community and beyond can use them also.

To help all our users feel safer and more comfortable, the Valley Library shifted the main (2nd floor) gendered restrooms to be gender neutral, or gender-inclusive. Among other reasons, this change aligns with a campus-wide effort to increase the accessibility of gender-inclusive restrooms and facilities throughout university buildings, and it moves forward library efforts to foster a more inclusive environment for users.
There are men’s and women’s restrooms accessible on other floors and outside of the Java II cafe, along with a few other single user gender-inclusive restrooms on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th floors.
