Library NewsHannon Library makes #20
Hannon Library has, once again, made the ranks! In April 2018 the EDsmart organization released its listing of the top 51 Most Incredible College Libraries, with Hannon Library coming in at #20.
This list puts Southern Oregon University’s library in the same spotlight as acclaimed U.S. universities and colleges like Johns Hopkins, Caltech, and Yale. The ranking has even garnered Hannon Library some special attention from local media with this article by KTVL Channel 10 News.
