The academic library is fundamental to all institutions of higher learning. Wessels Library provides students a study & research space with access to academic resources, including print books, scholarly journals, and a wide variety of electronic resources available 24/7 through the library’s website. Experienced librarians are available to help students with research and answer students' questions. And if Wessels Library doesn't have a book available, our partnership with PASCAL offers access to over a million books from partner libraries across South Carolina.
Computer workstations are provided throughout the library for student use, and wireless internet access is available throughout the facility. The Learning Commons (available 24/7 with Newberry College ID) contains group worktables, and single-student desks are located in the stacks.
Wessels Library enhances the student learning experience by providing a welcoming, inclusive environment that promotes lifelong learning and fosters equity and diversity. Wessels Library is committed to the American Library Association's Library Bill of Rights.
