The Frohring Library

 

The Frohring Library is a unique and highly appreciated learning environment open to all members of the JCU community. Located in the Guarini Campus, it provides access to what is recognized as one of the best academic English language collections in Rome, consisting of over 38,000 books, print journals, video and music recordings. A growing number of online resources including e-books, e-journals, and streaming videos are available 24/7 through remote authentication.

Thanks to the generous support of the Paul and Maxine Frohring Foundation, the Library has expanded throughout the years in the Aurelian Wing and it now consists of a variety of spaces that include quiet study spaces, private study rooms, and group study spaces, for a total of 150 seats. Some of the spaces can also be used for instruction, and one reading room is also used for art exhibits.

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 you. The library staff is available both to help students individually or through workshops, and to partner with faculty for tailored in-class instruction sessions.

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. The Library also provides interlibrary loan and document delivery services through Italian and international networks, allowing its users to connect to other library collections, thus expanding the possibility to answer the user’s information needs.
