Welcome Back CHC Community!

 

Welcome Back CHC Community!

 

On August 30, 2021 Chestnut Hill College will be open for the entire CHC Community!  Logue Librarians are ready for students to enter our building with research paper concerns, to print documents, or just to find a nice place to study.  We will continue to provide Virtual Chat services on our website and we will answer emails to Librarians@chc.edu.

Our library has had some significant changes in our staff since last year as well.  Our Circulation Assistant, Marian Ehnow, retired after working at the college for over 35 years!  Also, our Technical Services Librarian Kelly Liberona moved on in January and we have welcomed Hillary Hunter, 2014 CHC Alum who will direct all Circulation services, manage the library's social media and outreach.  She will teach Information Literacy too.

Again, Logue Library is ready to assist you with your research interest! Contact us via In-Person or through Chat for your specific needs!
