Thomas G. Carpenter Library

Thomas G. Carpenter Library is an academic library at the University of North Florida housed in a four-story building designed to support student research and learning. The facility features diverse work areas arranged throughout its floors, from open study zones to quiet spaces for focused work.

The library was established in 1980 alongside the University of North Florida and expanded significantly in the early 2000s to meet growing academic needs. This expansion nearly doubled its available space and allowed for more diverse services.

The library serves as a central gathering place for students and researchers, where study and collaboration are woven into daily routines. Visitors experience a space where intellectual exchange happens naturally across its floors.

The library offers wireless internet access throughout the building, making it easy to work from any location. Arriving early on weekdays helps secure the best study spots, especially in quieter areas.

The library holds important collections documenting regional history and preserves university archives that reveal stories about the area and campus development. These materials offer visitors windows into how the city and institution have evolved.
