About McCabe Library:
Among
McCabe Library's resources are the
Swarthmore College Peace Collection and the
Friends Historical Library as well as a U.S. Government Depository and a rare-book room with first editions and handwritten papers. Students can check out books, journals, films (both academic and popular), laptop computers, and printers, and make use of the library's digital resources online. Each Swarthmore library has its own attractions, but in all of them students can drink a cup of coffee, connect to the wireless network next to a sunny window, browse the stacks, or join friends to talk and study. Walk into any of the libraries and you will find Swarthmore students engaged in research, working on individual or group projects, and exploring new ideas.
