Kemp Library

Kemp Library provides students with opportunities to acquire, process and apply information in pursuit of their academic and career goals. A wide variety of resources as well as services offered by library faculty and staff support this goal. The library builds collections of print and electronic books, provides electronic course reserves and licenses an array of full-text databases, most of which are accessible both on- and off-campus. It also provides effective and speedy interlibrary loan and document delivery services to supplement its holdings.

Kemp Library is a depository for federal and Pennsylvania state documents and includes a Curriculum Materials Center for educational resource with collections of children and young adult literature and other instructional materials that support ESU's teacher education programs. Assistive technology is available in the library to make its resources fully accessible to all students.

As the library continues to provide access to new products, information formats and delivery systems, its instructional role has become more pronounced. To keep current with the library’s resources and services, students and faculty are invited to take full advantage of the research assistant services; participate in group instruction offered by instructional librarians; and check the library Web site - www.esu.edu/library.
