Bloomfield Campus Library was originally situated in the Talbot building, currently the Student Center. Recognizing the need for a modern, up-to-date academic library, a fund was started in the mid-1990s to build the current library located at 86 Oakland Avenue. The library quickly became the focal point of campus, the first major addition in over 40 years, and today serves as a key part of the University Libraries system.
