Newman Library
Newman Library is so much more than a place to borrow books. As part of our services, we offer scanning, photocopying, printing and laminating. There are computer stations where you can use the internet free for personal use, business needs or for online learning. The library is setup for your needs, including comfortable seating, various workspaces and free Wi-Fi for you to enjoy.
