Library

The Mathewson Library, which was completely rebuilt and refurbished during the summer of 2006, is a major center of student activity on Bellarmine's campus. Students gather there before and after school, during break, lunch, and free periods. Classes meet in the library to conduct research or use the state-of-the-art audio visual equipment in Andrade Theater or the Library Classroom. The library is a place to read in the soft seating area, study in the individual study carrels, work together at the large tables, or write, design or research using 48 desktop computers. A wireless connection to the Bellarmine network allows laptop use from any point in the Library.

Andrade Theater, the Library Classroom, and the Library Conference Room allow for a versatile learning experience. Andrade Theater has 82 permanent seats and is often used for guest speakers, group and individual student presentations and other activities. Among other functions, the Library Classroom is used to introduce students to research assignments before they begin exploring library print and electronic resources.
