未来的图书馆就在这里

Since 1884, 亿德体育 has been committed to challenging the status quo in higher education—查尔斯·库 embodies that continued commitment. 

Charles was born out of a unique vision of a library that is more than a home for book stacks, 学习空间和研究材料. The vision was a 21st century library that is a source of inspiration, 思想的孵化器, and a center for engagement and 协作. 查尔斯是所有这些，甚至更多.

体验查尔斯图书馆

Located at the intersection of Polett and Liacouras walks, 查尔斯·库 is truly the centerpiece of our university.

This state-of-the-art learning center is transforming our campus with its striking design and sophisticated technology. It’s the most modern library in Pennsylvania and one of the most significant new libraries in North America.

It’s a place where all Temple students and 教师, 不管纪律如何, 可以研究, learn, 创造和协作.

The library boasts an impressive collection of high-demand volumes available in traditional stacks, and additional books available via an automated storage and retrieval system known as the BookBot. 位于查尔斯下面, the cutting-edge technology increases usability, allowing for more open space in the library where 教师 and students can gather and work, while still providing easy access to the library's extensive collection.

合作中心 

Creativity thrives when people come together—a principle upon which Charles was founded. 

Across Temple’s schools and colleges, we’re united in our mission to create real change in the world. Charles provides a space where walls dissolve, interests align and minds come together to amplify our collective contributions to that mission.

Each of Charles’ four floors offers unique 协作 capabilities. With flexible group study and conference rooms, 演示练习工作室, 充足的座位和开放空间, the library is designed to physically bring people together. 作为费城的公立大学, this library is more than a resource for Temple students—it’s a modern day public square for all Philadelphians. 查尔斯真的属于我们大家.

不止一种方式, Charles is the heart of the Temple community—uniting all of us on common ground.

创新中心

As digital technology continues to change how we learn, 研究, 沟通和创造, students need to have places where they feel anything is possible. Every aspect of this library was designed for today’s world and students. 

Charles’ incubator-like environment offers everything needed to push the boundaries of 研究, 教与学. The Scholars Studio offers a makerspace with 3D printing capabilities, high-end computing and a virtual reality studio. Study and group workspaces are designed to adapt to student needs, from computer rentals and flexible furniture to technology that allows users to project digital content from personal devices.

By bridging traditional 研究 and digital transformation, Charles is redefining learning and teaching in the 21st century.
