Harriet Irving Library

The Harriet Irving Library (HIL) is the main library on UNB’s Fredericton campus and is located directly across from the Student Union Building (SUB).

The talented team of librarians and staff at HIL are dedicated to supporting the study, teaching and research needs of students, faculty and staff at the University of New Brunswick and St. Thomas University and also act as a resource for the wider community.

HIL’s collections consist of thousands of scholarly print and electronic resources in various formats (books, journals, government documents, newspapers, audio-visual materials, microfilms, maps, archival materials and research databases) all designed to support research and study in a variety of fields in the Arts, Social Sciences, Business, Education, Kinesiology and Nursing.
