The Libraries at Florida Atlantic University support the University's instructional, research, and public service activities through provision of access to information and materials, and through provision of assistance in their use. Secondary missions include our obligation to support scholarly endeavors and information needs in the local, regional, and national communities, and our obligation to preserve the collection for use by future generations of students and scholars.

The University Libraries include the S.E. Wimberly Library in Boca Raton; collections housed at the Broward County Public Library to serve the FAU Tower in downtown Fort Lauderdale; a shared-use library with Broward Community College in Davie; a 10,000-square-foot library on the MacArthur campus in Jupiter; and a shared resource library with Indian River Community College and St. Lucie County in Port St. Lucie.

The S.E. Wimberly Library is a 165,000-square-foot building at the heart of the Boca Raton campus. It provides seating for 772 faculty and group study rooms, study carrels, facilities for individuals with disabilities, an audiovisual media area, and computer lab.
