The Harrisburg University Library is a shared space where all members of the Harrisburg University community are welcome.
While the Library is not a designated silent space, we ask everyone to be mindful of their volume when conversing in groups, to use headphones or earbuds when watching videos or listening to music, and to consider taking personal phone conversations elsewhere.

Because Harrisburg University is a technology focused institution, the Harrisburg University Library is moving toward a print-free experience, focusing on all-digital databases, journals. and e-Books rather than print books. This strategy not only makes access to information more equitable for students working remotely, but also increases the Library's buying power by reducing the costs associated with processing, labeling, shelving, and check-out equipment.
Electronic resources also offer features such as text searching, magnification, highlighting and notation, and text-to-speech options which are useful to those with visual impairments or learning differences.
The Library will continue to maintain a "free library" section for those who like to trade print books, and will continue to maintain a collection of other physical materials such as games and puzzles.
The space that will be freed up by removing bookshelves will be used to make the library a more dynamic space in the coming years!
