Each library’s collection supports the programs offered on the campus in which it is located.

Steelcase Library--located in building A of the Pew Campus DeVos Center downtown, this library has books and other materials pertaining to business, criminal justice, education, engineering, hospitality and tourism, legal studies, public and nonprofit administration, social work, and houses the Johnson Collection for Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership.  The Curriculum Materials Library is designed for students and faculty in the College of Education and in other departments offering content-area courses of education.

Frey Foundation Learning Commons--in the Daniel and Pamella DeVos Center for Interprofessional Health (DCIH) building in Grand Rapids, you'll find materials for clinical laboratory science, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant studies, public health, radiology, and recreational therapy. 

Mary Idema Pew Library--in Allendale; pretty much everything else.

All three of these libraries provide computers, printers, and photocopiers.

Lemmen Library and Archives in Seidman House is one of the quietest places on the Allendale campus and ideal for study. 

Regardless of subject area, online resources such as databases and electronic books can be accessed anywhere, anytime via the internet with your GVSU user ID and password.
