The Library, Museums and Press is a hub for activity, collaboration and concentration. You will find opportunities to study, learn, create and connect throughout our various locations.
The main library, Morris Library, sits in the heart of campus on the Green. In addition, there are three branch libraries: the Chemistry Library and the Physics Library are also on the Newark campus, and the Marine Studies Library is on the Lewes campus. Four Special Collections and Museums gallery spaces—including Mechanical Hall Gallery, the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall, Old College Gallery and the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library—display rotating exhibitions that are free and open to the public. The editorial offices of the UD Press, which publishes scholarly works for researchers, are situated in Morris Library.
