About the VGC
The
Video Gamer’s Coalition is an inclusive atmosphere for students to relax, socialize, compete, cooperate, and have fun with all video games on the SOU campus! The club is a self-care environment that is relaxed about attendance, casual in demeanor, and encourages students to prioritize scholastic or non-scholastic obligations over video games. Win prizes distributed at the end of each term through attendance, activity participation, and sharing their own games and equipment during club hours! Join the club on SOUConnect and contact the VGC to get on our emailing list, Facebook, and Discord server for club information, meetings, and socializing!

Featured Fiction
Library Collections, Library News, Library ServicesRead a good book lately?
No, not a textbook, or a journal article, or any one of the many pieces of information you read for classes. We mean a good book, one with a captivating story that carries your mind away to a different world inhabited by memorable characters. The kind of story that stays with you long after you’ve returned to the obligations of homework and assigned reading. After all, librarians will be the first to say that sometimes books should be read purely for the joy of the written word.
That’s why Hannon Library is excited to introduce a new Featured Fiction Section. We’re making it easier for you to find that perfect recreational read.
Featured Fiction
Located within the first floor New Books Alcove, Featured Fiction brings some of the best available fiction books front and center in an easy-to-browse display. No need to roam through the shelves or search for titles in the catalog—just look for the book that catches your eye, right there at your fingertips.
This rotating collection is stocked with award-winning titles in multiple fiction genres, including short stories and books for young readers. Each book is hand-chosen by librarians to offer you a quality reading experience.
Let Us Know
At Hannon Library, we’re always looking for ways to provide our patrons with the best experiences possible. If you like the new Featured Fiction Section, or have suggestions for what we could do differently, let us know! Leave a comment or send us an email.
