The Georgia State University Library provides one of the most attractive, open and inviting educational facilities in the Southeast. With over 1.5 million visitors this past year, the library is an integral part of the university community. It supports both teaching and research with an expansive collection and outstanding assistance. The library also exhibits a modern image providing the campus with an attractive, centralized location. Its signature bridge, a glass link that overlooks downtown Atlanta, connects the library’s two prominent buildings. Many appreciate the comfort of the library’s interior design, often enjoying a coffee from the cafe located on the first floor.
Located in the heart of downtown Atlanta, Georgia State University is one of the country’s top urban research universities.

This diverse community offers a unique cultural and intellectual atmosphere, with opportunities to engage in stimulating activities and events. Between college sports, the performing arts and a variety of local restaurants, the campus location has it all.
