About the SPU Library

Welcome to the SPU Library, a place of discovery and creation that can help you learn about the past, understand what is going on in the present, and prepare for the future.

The mission of the SPU Library is to provide collections, services, and spaces that advance teaching, learning, and research at SPU. Our local collections include digital, print, and archival resources and, through the Summit borrowing system, we provide access to the collections of 35 other academic libraries in Washington and Oregon. Our librarians are available to provide instructional and research assistance, and at our Tech Desk students can find technological support and tools. Throughout the library, a variety of spaces are available for individual and collaborative work.

I invite you to explore and avail yourself of all that we have to offer through this website and in our facility. I hope you will, and let us know how we can improve and innovate to enhance your learning and research experience.

Michael J. Paulus Jr.
University Librarian and Associate Professor
