Lynn University, founded in 1962, is private university accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.  Lynn awards associate, bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, while promoting high academic standards and the development of individual talents and interests among its students.  Lynn's 2,100 students are from 90 countries, which creates a unique multi-cultural learning environment.

The Lynn Library, which was completed in 1996, houses approximately 200,000 items on the Boca Raton campus. This collection includes books, periodicals, videos, CD's and microforms and a large African artifacts collection. In addition to these resources, the library provides access to a large collection of article databases. The databases in this collection are carefully evaluated and chosen for content that supports the Lynn curriculum. The award winning library building was designed to integrate information technology with a traditional library environment.

The Lynn Library is a participant in the SEFLIN "Pink Card" visiting user program.
