Welcome From The Library Director
Mr.
Bobby C. Wynn
On behalf of the staff
of Chesnutt Library, let me welcome you to Fayetteville State
University. As an integral part of the university, Chesnutt
Library's mission is to support your educational, research and
cultural endeavors through careful selection, acquisition,
organization, and interpretation of information resources. In
addition, Chesnutt Library assumes its special role as a major
cultural resource for the community and the region at large.
The Charles Waddell Chesnutt Library
bears a name of renowned distinction. It was named after Charles W.
Chesnutt (1858-1932), who was the first successful African-American
novelist and who became the third principal of the Howard School,
known today as Fayetteville State University. Chesnutt Library shows
a history of sustained progress and development on all-important
fronts: in the growth of collections for study and research, in the
use of resources at the university and within the community, in the
improvement of its physical facilities and its plans for the future.
A
staff of qualified librarians, and support staff are available to
assist library users. The building, completed in 1987, is a modern
four leveled, contemporary structure, providing more than 70,000
square feet of space that is conducive for study and research. The
library offers an array of traditional and innovative services in
delivering the resources to you. Many of the resources are available
24 hours day from campus and off-campus sites.
Chesnutt Library has as two of its goals,
the support of the instructional programs of the university, as well
as providing a comfortable and attractive environment for users to
avail themselves of nourishment for their intellectual and cultural
growth. We encourage the development of good study habits, through
the use of Chesnutt Library and
its resources.
