Library

The Clark Library stands at the center of intellectual life at the University of Portland, fostering connections and knowledge creation to help students and faculty excel in research, scholarship, and creative expression. Through extensive collections, investments in tools for innovation and technology, and dedicated faculty and staff, the Library is a learning commons that draws hundreds of students in each day and offers them a place to gather, share ideas, create, and learn.
