The library staff welcomes Ave Maria students, faculty, staff and visitors to use our facilities and services.   We have online periodical databases accessible through the library webpage, and therefore available on campus through IP recognition. Some databases  are even available off campus with a password.  We have computers available, WiFi signal for laptops, and many other valuable resources.

We are open six days during the academic year, Sunday to Friday, and from Monday to Friday during the summer sessions. All students and faculty have full privileges for borrowing library materials, using electronic databases and requesting interlibrary loan materials from the main campus as well as from campuses in Nicaragua.

We are happy to serve our patrons, and look forward to assisting you with your research needs and requests for leisure reading and viewing. At the beginning of the fall semester in 2011 the new library was opened to the campus community with improved services including individual and group study rooms, audiovisual rooms, a 24 hour study room close to the library entrance, and increased study space for students and for all of our collections allowing for growth during years to come.
