Fondren Library

Fondren Library brings together faculty, students, staff, alumni and the general public, offering welcoming spaces, excellent collections, and strong services in support of teaching, research and creative expression. The Fondren Library team helps students to develop superior research, critical thinking and communication skills. We foster cutting-edge research and provide and preserve rich, easy-to-use collections.

FoFL is dedicated to stimulating growth in library resources and facilities for the 21st century, enhancing the library’s collections and fulfill its ongoing need for resources and services. FoFL is celebrating our 75th year of supporting Fondren Library's collections, programs and spaces.
