Because of a mutual sharing agreement, Lyon College students can borrow books at other College and University libraries in this state. Browse ArkLink's Libraries to see if there's something you can use within driving distance. Pick up a library card at our front desk before you go. You cannot login to their article databases from off-campus but most have a guest policy allowing you to search their databases in-house.
The Old Independence Regional Museum is a fabulous place to connect with local and regional history.
The museum's Archival Research Wing contains a library of books pertaining to General Historical Information, Arkansas Resources, Civil War, Native Americans, and published Family Histories. Shelves are dedicated to books, transcriptions of public records, and historical journals from each of the twelve counties served by the museum. A public access computer, microfilm reader/printer, and video-viewing station provide important historical information.
In addition to Lyon College, students can also use the library at UACCB. Because both libraries participate in a sharing program, students at Lyon can check out books at UACCB and vice versa. Come to the front desk at Lyon and get an Arklink card before you go to check out items at the Row Johns Library.
The Independence County Library in downtown historic Batesville is another option. Cards are free with a photo ID. There are several special collections, especially in regional history and genealogy.
Sunday: 4 p.m. to Midnight
Monday - Thursday: 7:30 a.m. to Midnight
Friday: 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Saturday: Closed
How Do I Login?
When off-campus, if you are a Lyon College student, faculty, or staff member, you can use your Lyon user ID (first.last@lyon.edu) and your password to login when an authentication screen pops up during your use of a library database or other online service. You only have to do this once a session.
Community members who have purchased a card can use the databases in the library building but not remotely.
