The library is the heart of the academic life on the Hannibal-LaGrange College campus. It provides materials to support the students’ program of instruction and to encourage the habit of reading and the use of libraries. The library staff is available to help you in your search of these materials.

Completed in 1966, this two-story structure was named in honor of Dr. L. A. Foster, who served as president of Hannibal-LaGrange College for 20 years. The first floor includes the public access catalogs, the circulation station, the reference room, the computer lab, the photocopiers, the listening area, the closed stacks, and the periodicals room. The study area, the education curriculum lab, and the open-access book stacks are located on the second floor. The library holds over 135,000 volumes, including print, audio-visuals, and computer formats. Its holdings also include approximately 300 periodical titles in print and over 60 CD-ROM titles in house with access to a variety of online resources and interlibrary loan services. Students have access to the Internet from the library.
