Nichols Library's Mission
Named for the Gospel preacher Gus Nichols, Nichols Main Library is at the academic heart of Faulkner University. The library houses over 100,000 volumes and provides study space for individuals and groups. Located on the eastern side of campus, parking is available both at the front of the building and on the east side. A book drop box is located near the parking lot at the entrance to the building for after-hours book return. During open hours, please return books to the Circulation Desk.
