In an effort to connect the creativity of our students and faculty to information, tools, and expertise, we provide access to higher quality information, technology and resources so that ACU students receive one of the best academic library experiences available today. Brown Library provides learning environments that support individual and group study with furnishings and resources that support both comfortable collaborations and focused productivity.
While many of our rooms and spaces are open to the public, Brown Library reserves the right to determine the use of space and restrictions that are necessary to support its mission.
