What is “Countess”?
Countess is the name of our library’s online catalogue, and is named after Selina, Countess of Huntingdon from whom the College took its new name in 1936, when it became co-educational. (See A History of Huntingdon College, 1854-1954 by Rhoda Coleman Ellison, University of Alabama Press, 1954) • Is there a charge for printing items from the library computers (i.e., Word documents, Internet articles, etc.) Currently, there is no charge for printing your documents or internet copies, but if a large number of copies are printed, donations to the fund for paper and ink cartridges are always appreciated! We ask that users limited the number of copies made and avoid making unnecessary copies. • Who are the Patrons of the Library? May I join? Founded in 1972, the Patrons of the Library is a community support group – called a friends group in the library profession – that who through membership dues and donations help support the Library of Huntingdon College.
