St. Thomas University Library
The University Library’s 50,000‑square‑foot facility offers a modern, wireless learning environment designed for collaboration, research, and personal study. As a central hub on campus, the Library provides a diverse range of print and digital resources, including an extensive virtual collection of full‑text journals, magazines, newspapers, and e‑books.
Our services include interlibrary loans, document delivery, and comprehensive reference support available in person, by phone, or via e‑mail. In addition, our Information Literacy Instruction program empowers students and faculty to conduct effective research using both digital and traditional resources.
The Library features inviting spaces for group work and individual study, complemented by computer labs and an information commons area. On the first floor, you’ll find Auditions, our STU dining option serving garden‑fresh, tossed‑to‑order salads. Pulled from the ground and zipped to your plate, these salads help keep our bodies fit, our mouths happy, and our planet healthy. Enjoy chef‑crafted selections or customize your own with a variety of fresh, locally sourced produce. The second floor is home to the Sardiñas Art Gallery and the Archbishop John C. Favalora Archive and Museum.
Embodying the mission of St. Thomas University, the Library is a vibrant center for learning, teaching, and research, dedicated to academic excellence, ethical leadership, and fostering a diverse community enriched by our Catholic identity.
