Townsend Memorial Library

Townsend Memorial Library supports teaching, learning, and research at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor.  In supporting the university’s mission, library faculty and staff are committed to quality service, personal attention, and academic excellence in a Christian context.  The library promotes and supports the lifelong pursuit of knowledge for the UMHB community and places the success of UMHB students as its highest priority.

Resources

Townsend Memorial Library provides current UMHB students, faculty, and staff access to a wide range of materials to support learning and encourage discovery. The collection of print and electronic books, audiovisual items, and academic databases support the curriculum, individual research, and leisure needs of patrons. The library is involved in continuously improving the collection so that it contains the most authoritative and current resources.

Instruction

In addition to providing access to high-quality resources that promote learning in more than 120 academic programs, librarians teach students how to navigate the complex modern information landscape. Individual and classroom instruction includes how to find the most reliable sources effectively and efficiently, as well as guidance on using academic research tools.

Facility

Computers, printers, scanners, and other tools are available for use.  The library strives to be a place where students can work together in group spaces, study in a quiet environment, check out the newest displays, participate in themed events, or relax with a good book and a coffee.

Current UMHB students, faculty, and staff who have a valid library account may access library resources electronically from off-campus locations. Additional information about the library may be found at http://lib.umhb.edu or by calling (254) 295-4637.
