Through the Mary and Jeff Bell Library, our students have access to many of the most powerful and comprehensive academic resources in the nation. With over half a million books, we also hold an extensive special collections and archives section including the Dr. Hector P. Garcia Papers belonging to founder of the American G.I. Forum, and one of the most important figures in modern Mexican American History. A recent renovation updated the library's technology and study spaces to better fit students' learning styles with a super quiet study room, spaces for groups or individuals, caf̩é, the iCreate Makers Space for some hands-on creativity, and furniture with charging ports built right in.
Writing a research paper? Our students have access to one of the largest online databases in Texas. The library's media center provides free laptop and media rentals as well as private viewing areas where students can gather to watch movies for class or just to kill some time in between.
