Lipscomb by the numbers: Beaman Library

February 6, 2023 /

This week Lipscomb by the numbers heads over to Beaman Library. The library sees a lot of traffic each semester. Students pick up and check out books for classes, books for research, and books for fun. Herd Media went to the library to see just how many books that is.

Last semester, students checked out 1,297 books and read or downloaded 3,295 ebooks. The numbers are already rising this semester, despite being only a month into it. So far this semester, people have checked out 193 books. They’ve also read or downloaded 389 ebooks so far.

With access to thousands of print books, ebooks, and articles, the library is the place to go with any of your research needs. You can go in person, or you can start here.
