University Libraries

Life is full of challenges, deadlines, and complex questions. National Library Week and this year’s theme, “Find Your Joy,” remind us that libraries provide support and inspiration. Libraries are places where curiosity grows.

CMU’s library has evolved from a small 1893 collection to the modern Charles V. Park Library, growing alongside the university despite setbacks like the Old Main fire of 1925—all while continuing to support student success through access to knowledge.

CMU Libraries celebrates Pride Month by reflecting on decades of standing up for LGBTQ+ rights and community collaboration.

CMU Libraries include support centers offering tutoring, testing, and accommodations, fostering student success and inclusive resources.
