Library Naming Opportunities
A Unique Privilege
The Jerry Falwell Library is the hub of Liberty University’s intellectual community. It provides a welcoming environment with plenty of space for interactive research, content creation, and collaborative work, as well as the latest technological tools to assist in the learning process. This beautiful multi-story structure overlooking a manmade lake serves as both the geographical and academic center of Liberty’s campus.
Because it bears the name of our founder, naming opportunities for the Jerry Falwell Library will hold special significance. Generous supporters have the unique privilege of taking part in the life of a facility that simultaneously honors Liberty’s past while embracing its future.
Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS)
The ASRS is a state-of-the-art storage system employing three robotic cranes and 4,200 bins to house the majority of the Jerry Falwell Library collection. The ASRS stores up to 420,000 items in one-seventh of the space required for traditional shelving. The process of requesting items from the ASRS takes only minutes, and students are able to observe this technology in operation from several viewing locations in the building. The system is an important focal point of the library.
