Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library

The Blanche Skiff Ross Memorial Library was completed in 1963. It was named in honor of Mrs. Frank Ross of Oak Park, Illinois, niece of Alice Virginia Coffin, one of the seven founders of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, owners and supporters of Cottey College since 1927.

Browsing the shelves of over 50,000 volumes of books, videos, DVDs, CDs, slides, maps, and music scores can lead to exploring a broad range of subjects, viewpoints, and cultures. Over 180 current periodical subscriptions reflect the variety of today's interests; some titles extend to 150 years of history. On campus, the library Web site links to databases with full text of over 2,000 periodicals as well as news services, government documents, and scholarly databases.
