Campbell Library

MS/US Library

The philosophy behind the development of the library collection supports the students and faculty in all aspects of their academic work. The library collection and the services offered by the library staff support the work done in the classroom, enhance the concepts being taught, and expand the academic possibilities through the use of printed materials and on-line resources. Our goal is to also serve as USJ’s “public library,” as we serve an on-campus community of students and faculty. We support recreational use of the library for activities such as recreational reading and access to the Internet. The Campbell Library is a vital and exciting part of the school community.
