Two Libraries, One Great Resource
Humphreys University provides two major learning centers for students, alumni, faculty, and the community. The undergraduate library provides resources and information for students studying in any of our undergraduate programs, from liberal arts to paralegal studies. Our law library has collections of federal and California codes, California and regional reporters, California administrative regulations, attorney general opinions, law journals and treatises.
The Stockton Library is located in the 100 building on the northwest of the campus. The Modesto Library is located in the 3A building next to the lounge.
