Mantor Library

UMF's Mantor Library links you with the wisdom of the ages, from prehistory to cyberspace. Mantor Library is free and open to the public year-round. And it offers free library cards to members of the area community — allowing those aged 12 and older to borrow library materials.

Mantor Library is here to help you find — and use — information, whether you're doing a class project or researching where to take a vacation. You can check your e-mail at numerous workstations, do research using book or online sources, read a magazine, watch a video, borrow course reserves, or burn a CD.

There's a browsing room with cozy couches, an Arts Media Space for enjoying music and movies in comfort, study tables and rooms to fit various group or individual tastes, and friendly staff who can help you with your information needs.


Books, Technology and Much MORE
Mantor Library also offers exciting programs for the campus and the public. The library sponsors annual programs like One Book/One Campus and On Our Minds, which take important books and open them up for greater understanding, and Banned Books Week, where we examine challenges to our basic freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment.

Our Information Literacy Program works with UMF classes and individual students to ensure you can locate, evaluate, and ethically use information regardless of where sources might be found and in spite of their format.

Our reference desk is available to help you answer simple or complex questions to help you succeed in your UMF classes and beyond.
