Columbus State University maintains two libraries: the Schwob Memorial Library on the main campus and the Music Library at CSU's downtown campus in the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts.

Located in the center of the CSU campus, the Schwob Memorial Library serves as CSU's premier information resource. It provides a book collection of over 350,000 volumes, as well as access to thousands of electronic journal articles via GALILEO, Georgia's impressive collection of electronic databases.

The Music Library, located in a 4000 square foot space on the RiverCenter's first floor, is intended for the use of CSU students and faculty engaged in music-related research. Its growing collection contains scores, LPs, CDs, videos, DVDs and books about music.

The staff of the CSU Libraries is comprised of library faculty and staff members who strive to provide quality service for all library users. Among their goals are the enhancement of student learning and making both libraries the intellectual hubs of their respective campuses.
