The Peterson Library is your library, and we are always striving to provide you with the best possible service and support. We are committed to fostering a supportive environment that meets you where you are and connects you with the information resources you need.

As a physical and digital space dedicated to intellectual freedom, curiosity, and the pursuit of knowledge, we encourage you to ask questions and seek answers with critical inquiry.
