Allen Ginsberg Library

The Allen Ginsberg Library is your home library as a Naropa student, faculty member or employee. Our staff will orient you to the information resources available to you (including Norlin Library, the flagship library of the University of Colorado at Boulder) and assist you in your research projects.

We ensure access to the print and electronic reserve materials for your classes. We have a collection of more than 30,000 books, periodicals and audiovisual materials that is designed to comprehensively support the unique focuses of Naropa’s courses of study. We also provide on-site and remote access to a core collection of online databases, full-text journals and finding aids.

If we don't have a book or journal article you need, the Allen Ginsberg Library can borrow the book or have a copy of the article sent from another library through our interlibrary loan service. Our commitment is to connect you with the information you want and need.

Paramita Library Services Desk

The Paramita Library Services Desk has moved to the nook in the student lounge. We hope this location will be more accessible. It will also allow us more space to keep more of the books relevant to the graduate psychology programs on the Paramita Campus. The desk is staffed Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. It is closed Friday through Sunday.

(Here is a map of the physical location of the library desk on Paramita Campus).

Audiovisual Equipment

Current Naropa faculty, students and staff can borrow audiovisual equipment such as multimedia projectors, laptops, digital voice and video recorders, and more from the library. Library staff are available for consultations.

For library news

We have a blog where we highlight online resources and news articles that we think will be of interest to the Naropa community. Our blog also has a library news channel, where we will post updates on technical difficulties and library closings, as well as happy news.
