Explore Swarthmore - Libraries Overview

As the center of community, the libraries foster critical inquiry, scholarly discovery and engagement, innovation, and creativity — a dynamic forum for people and ideas.

Our libraries — including McCabe, Cornell Science, Underhill Music and Dance, the Peace Collection, and Friends Historical — draw students together online and in person for conversation and inspiration (and perhaps some caffeine) as they launch into their next project or paper.
