Mission:

The Harvey A. Andruss Library of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania supports the educational mission of the University through selecting, organizing, preserving, and disseminating information in all its formats and manifestations. The primary responsibility of the organization is to provide the human and technical resources necessary for the University community and secondarily the public to retrieve information effectively. The Library is devoted to developing and implementing programs and services and to building and preserving collections in all their appropriate forms to meet primarily the curricular and general information needs and secondarily the recreational information needs of its users. The Library maintains collections that promote free inquiry and intellectual development and provides instruction in the information gathering and evaluation process. The Library is also committed to working cooperatively with other libraries toward the fulfillment of its mission.
