Fant Memorial Library is committed to bringing targeted, innovative resources and services to the MUW community to facilitate excellence in teaching, research, and learning—both online and in-person. To that end, we provide the technologies, materials, spaces, and expert support to further classroom explorations and stimulate intellectual curiosity. We aim to be the heart of our campus, a place where students and faculty can “study for light to bless with light.”
