The Miriam B. & James J. Mulva Library

The Mulva Library is the hub of student academic life on campus. Home to more than 247,000 volumes, including books, journals and other serials, microforms, maps and charts, it also offers amazing places to study. 

Each year over 3,000 volumes are added to the collection. (To top it off, they keep adding new coffee specials at Ed’s Café on the first floor!)

Come see for yourself why so many students just love the Mulva. Whether you’re looking for a place for quiet study, or a place to work with others on a group project, the Mulva has the perfect spot – and the perfect resource  – to help you land that “A+” you’re after.  

A Little History
St. Norbert College’s first library was a small room on the first floor of Main Hall and contained books donated by students. In 1924, a room of Boyle Hall became the main library until 1959, when the library was moved to Boyle’s third and fourth floors. In 1977, the Todd Wehr Library was established through the remodeling of an existing campus dormitory. In 2009, the Miriam B. & James J. Mulva Library opened its doors.
