Preparing For The Future

     

Penn State University Libraries are the treasury of our past and the inspiration for our future. We hold the knowledge of great minds, share the discoveries of great innovators,  and generate the motivation of great students and researchers. We support every college and campus in the Penn State system across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Beginning in 1859 with only fourteen books, Penn State University Libraries is now ranked 8th in North America as a leading academic research library.  

We value the quality and quantity of our resources because they are the basis of educational excellence. Regardless of the format by which information is shared, the Penn State University Libraries are committed to developing an environment where scholars are engaged, information is shared, and service is exceptional.       

The potential to meet these goals is grounded in the joint efforts of every person who values our traditions and strives for an improved tomorrow. The responsibility to preserve, share, and use these treasures is daunting, but we are - with your help - accomplishing the task.
