The university library is the center of learning on the campus.  The library was constructed in 1971 and now contains over 106,000 volumes.  Our collection is made up of a circulation collection, periodical collection, a non-print media center and a special collection.

 

The library maintains an open-stack system on the first and second floors and the second floor also provides group study rooms, a computer lab, conference rooms and the special collections.

 

The university archive is also located on the second floor and contains the works of our founder, Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune as well as the university papers.  The archival area is the repository for documentary, photographic, and other materials of historic value to the University.  The Special Collection consist of books by and about blacks.

 

The Library/Learning Resource Center thus serves as a major focus for improving learning, teaching, and research.  It address academic, administrative and cultural needs of the University through provision of resources identified above as well as through the offering of consultative services to faculty, staff, students, and visitors in maximizing the use of services and facilities.
