Library Locations and Hours

The University of St. Thomas has four libraries dedicated to providing the resources and research assistance you need. While the collections and certain services vary between libraries, our friendly librarians are always ready to help students, faculty, and staff.

Alumni and guest patrons are welcome to visit and use the O'Shaughnessy-Frey and Ireland libraries during guest hours which end at 5:00pm. Entrance to the building at other times will be restricted to University of St. Thomas ID card access. Visitors are encouraged to contact us for information regarding specific services and resources available prior to coming to campus.
