About the Library

The Eugene S. Farley Library provides the collections and services to support and strengthen the teaching, learning, mentoring and research mission of Wilkes University.

Our vision is to offer a friendly, comfortable, information rich, high tech/multimedia and service-oriented environment that cultivates a lifelong commitment to learning, ethics, civic responsibility and openness to cultural diversity.

Library resources available to Wilkes University students include:

  • Find@Farley, a tool that simultaneously searches all available library resources, databases and journals.
  • Smart classrooms.
  • University Archives.
  • Four special collections rooms.
