The Frohring Library is a unique and highly appreciated learning environment open to all members of the JCU community. Thanks to the generous support of the Paul and Maxine Frohring Foundation, the Library has expanded throughout the years in its location in the Guarini Campus, where it provides access to what is recognized as one of the best academic English language collections in Rome, consisting of print books and journals, videos, and a growing collection of online resources available 24/7.
All library services are strongly user-oriented, and include extended operating hours, weekend openings, and the continued presence of welcoming and knowledgeable professionals ready to assist students and faculty.
The Frohring Library is very active in creating connections locally and at the international level. It works as a bridge to the numerous specialized libraries available in Rome, helping students navigate their services and rich collections.
As an international member of the American Library Association (ALA), and its academic division ACRL, the Frohring Library strives to constantly remain updated on the latest trends in American academic libraries, and to benchmark its resources and performance with peer institutions. The Library is also member of AMICAL, the American International Consortium of Academic Libraries, and has regular relationships with the other 28 American-modeled member institutions located in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
The Elisabetta Morani Center for Teaching and Learning was founded in 2022, based on a proposal by then Dean of Academic Affairs Carlos Dews.
