Spring Semester Starts

By

Welcome to the spring semester! The calendar says “spring," but that thermostat says otherwise. Either way, the library is open and warm! 

Here’s where to find us right now:

  • CCC 130 — Study space, book browsing, games, material checkout, and reliable indoor heat.

  • CCC 104 — Research help from librarians! 

  • TNR 110 (University Archives) — Campus history, cool old stuff, special collections, and more.

Use the library homepage  to access our materials, see what's new, and find helpful services. 

This semester’s big shift: the new library building opens later this spring, sometime after Spring Break. It’s close enough to feel real now.

If you need help with anything, please stop by the Circulation or Reference Desk and ask. We are happy to help!  

Welcome to the semester!

One Islam, M any Muslim W orlds : S pirituality, I dentity, and R esistance A cross Islamic L ands By Raymond William Baker Call Number:  BP 161.3 B344 2015 Review from the journal Foreign Affairs Publisher's Description:   By all measures, the late twentieth century was a time of dramatic decline for the Islamic world, the Ummah , particularly its Arab heartland. Sober Muslim voices regularly describe their current state as the worst in the 1,400-year history of Islam. Yet, precisely at this time of unprecedented material vulnerability, Islam has emerged as a civilizational force strong enough to challenge the imposition of Western, particularly American, homogenizing power on Muslim peoples. This is the central paradox of Islam today: at a time of such unprecedented weakness in one sense, how has the Islamic Awakening, a broad and diverse movement of contemporary Islamic renewal, emerged as such a resilient and powerful transnational force and what imp...

A Legacy of Opportunity: Honoring Mary E. Reinhart at UW-Stevens Point

We are very excited to announce that the main campus library will be named the Mary Reinhart University Library , opening in late 2026 when we move into the new Library and Student Resource Center building. This new name recognizes the extraordinary generosity of Mary E. Reinhart , whose estate gift will impact generations of UW-Stevens Point students. Through her gift to the UWSP Foundation, Mary created two endowed scholarships designed to meet students where they are and open doors to their future: The Mary E. Reinhart Retention Scholarship , which provides immediate financial assistance to students facing unexpected emergencies—so one obstacle doesn’t force them to abandon their education. A  scholarship for student library leaders who, through their involvement in the library, coursework, or demonstrated interest, have made a meaningful contribution to the library. Mary’s ties to UW-Stevens Point run deep. Her father, Harold Reinhart , graduated from what was then the S...
