As of 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18, all FAU libraries (in Boca Raton, Jupiter, and HBOI) will be closing to the public, but we will continue to be a resource for the FAU community.

Dean Carol Hixson has released a statement regarding the FAU Libraries continued response to the Coronavirus.

Greetings, all!  March 2-6 marks international Open Education Week, and FAU Libraries welcomes you to engage with us as we continue to strive for openness in knowledge creation and sharing.  

Now open is the FAU Libraries’ spring exhibit called “Pamphleteers of the American Revolution.” This unique exhibit uses items from the Marvin and Sybil Weiner Spirit of America Collection to highlight the writings of brave men and women in the original thirteen colonies who spoke out against the tyrannical King George III of Great Britain.
