The library holdings support the courses and curriculum topics offered and serve as a foundation for students´ study and research on campus. The Main Library is located on the first floor of the Main Building / House 1. The physical book collections of ca. 10,000 volumes are set up there and in two further rooms in House 3, including reading space and study places with networked PCs

 

The Campus Library was opened in 2004, with the Henry Marx Collection of the Lander Institute for the Communication of the Holocaust and Tolerance added and further developed since 2006.
