Dinand Library

One of the most inspiring buildings on campus, Dinand is the main library on campus. It houses a collection of books, journals and media as well as countless e-resources. Our five libraries offer a wide variety of study spaces across campus, and frequently host workshops and speakers dedicated to topics related to writing and research.

📝 Main Reading Room Details

The Main Reading Room is the hub of student activity in Dinand Library. In addition to hosting the library's four large printers and a scanning station, this room contains the library's collection of reference books (encyclopedias, dictionaries, and more!). This is also where you can find our latest issues of different periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals)

🌟 TIP: Study in the Lower Level Book Stacks

Among the many study areas in the library, the mezzanine and basement level stacks are some of the best. This area of the library is packed full of study spaces. Choose from large tables or cubicle desks (great for hunkering down before the exam), or a comfy chair.

🌞 Library Patio

The patio is a much sought after comfortable study spot on campus, particularly during the sunny warm periods.
